It seems like I haven't really gotten this blog up and running yet, but my limited access to the internet has truly slowed my progress. It certainly seems to match the pace of things here in general, though. We've been here for nearly three weeks and we've spend much of our time on the Support Site, which truly feels like a little Utopian slice of America. It seems like there are a lot of obstacles to overcome here in order to get anything done, but Andy is doing a great job trying to wade through everything.
We have decided on a house in Lago Patria, which we are excited about, however it looks like the process is going to be extremely slow. I'd be shocked if we were in the house in a month from now... it will probably be more like 6-8 weeks. I'm determined to be the squeaky wheel, however and I vow to call the housing office every day in order to keep things moving along for us! Hopefully they'll just get sick of me and move us through!
Claire is having a great time at the playground and the pool interacting with all the other kids. She has become a much more confident walker, even though she only took her first independent steps just under four weeks ago. She has also taught herself to crawl up the stairs and go down the slide by herself. Yay!
We are starting to meet some great people here too. Everyone is really friendly and very helpful, especially when they hear that you've only been here for a short period of time. It seems like people are really willing to reach out, which is great.
