I wanted to give a quick update as to how we are doing. We still do not have our home phone service nor our internet service hooked up at our house. I was told that it could be hooked up after the 27th of this month. They are not sure when because as of right now, there are no available lines.
We are still settling in and making things home and of course still running lots of errands. One of the requirements here is that a renter must have renter's insurance on their household goods. So yesterday, we got this accomplished. Our shocks for the car came in today. So in the next day or two, I will try to have the local garage put them on. Then I will take the car back to the inspection station and get the car approved to have it registered on the island. There is still lots to do and several more jobs to get done.
On Monday, Kami made some fresh chocolate chip cookies and we delivered them to our neighbors. On our left side are two elderly sisters that live together. We sat down and stumbled through our French talking to them only to find out, as we were about to leave, that they speak English! On our right side, we have not yet met the owner of the house who lives upstairs. However, Kami was able to meet the renters who live downstairs. They are Portuguese and Kami was able to meet the mother and her son. She speaks no English but Kami and her had a good conversation in French.
To try to keep Silas and Callie safe, I installed this gate on our front porch to keep the kids in. They have both had lots of fun playing on the big porch. This is also where we eat most of our meals as well.
Silas is having fun playing with his toy tools and workshop.
Callie is having fun just getting into everything and eating everything she finds!
We will keep trying to post some things when we can get internet. Hopefully soon we will have everything hooked up at our house!
