Just a quick update....

We only have a  minute, so I thought I would give everyone a quick update as to our happenings up until now:

1)We are still awaiting a home phone and internet service to be installed at our house.  We still do not have a time frame as to when this will be done.

2)We praise the Lord that we have air conditioning in the bedrooms.  It has been very hot during the day and we sweat non-stop!  But at least in the evening time, we can get a small repose from the heat while we sleep.

3)The mosquitos are going to take every drop of blood that they can get!  They love the  "fresh" blood from Americans, especially the children.  Beth had over 30 mosquito bites on her legs alone!  Sometime in the future, we might pay the 160 Euros to get our property sprayed for mosquitos.

4) Our car arrived today (Wednesday)!  Yea!  We have run around  all day trying to get everything lined up to register and title our car.  We had to pay an additional tax at the Port to import our vehicle that we did not expect.  We also took our car to the inspection station to which we learned that our vehicle failed the inspection.  We need to have new shocks put on the rear of the car and we need to get this done in the next week before we can get our title and registration.  The problem is that the garage is trying to find the part to have it shipped from Florida! 

5) Other than that, everything so far is going fine.  We have been stuck at the house for the past week without a vehicle, but this has let us get school going, get the house all set up, and we have enjoyed some family time together. 

Until the next update...............
