Lovin' Life in Singapore!

Well, we've been in Singapore 3 weeks (Jeff 2 months) and everyone is settling in nicely. We really love the apartment even with it's small rooms. The view is incredible and we have enjoyed watching fireworks, storms rolling in from the sea, buses (Graham loves to shout "I see a bus!") etc. from our living room. We had only been here 5 days when we had Reed's 5th birthday party with our friends the Crocketts and Bhargavas, it was a lot of fun.
Reed is loving his school even though he has to get on the bus before 7 AM. Graham seems to pretty much be hating his school, at least every morning he begins the day by saying I'm not going to school and fights it all the way to school. He must eventually calm down as when he is picked up a few hours later he is smiling and tells me he is happy. That happiness seems to wear off within a few hours and by dinner time he's not going back the next day.
I have been learning the bus and MRT routes. They are not too bad but a taxi is SO MUCH quicker. I try to only take them when I have my arms full of stuff or I have the kiddos with me. I look at cars on the web every few days, it's really sad that they are 3x the amount they would be back home.
We've done some fun things, the Night Safari which was really cool, hanging out at the American Club is always fun, the boys swim almost every day after school. Right now the weather is no problem, some days it's really humid but other days it's no different than Kansas or Texas in the summer. I'm not sure how I will feel 3, 6, 9 months from now when it's still the exact same as it is today.
For my loyal readers who have checked in here for over a year only to see 4 or 5 posts (Dad, Erin, Kim and Brenda :)), I am really planning to blog on a regular basis so everyone can see what we are up to. Hopefully more people will check in from time to time, I plan to post pix as well. I have some now but blogging is supposed to be in the NOW so I won't go back and post ones from the past 3 weeks, will start fresh with today, moving forward.

I know you all will be on the edge of your seats........................ :)
