We finally got our new car. The first thing we did was to plug in both baby seats to confirm how it will all work. Looks like junior will be sitting behind the passenger and the new baby will be behind the driver. Will need to get used to taking out the infant car seat again out of it's cradle.

The sea-freight container has finally arrived and all our stuff is here. The guys were pretty efficient at unpacking and setting everything up so we were quite happy. There were a few things broken and I'm sure we will find a few more over the next few days but all in all not bad at all.
Junior is Read more [...]

Todat a letter came from my parents for junior. It was full of shiny new Barney stickers. He was besides himself with excitement. "want to hold it, want to hold it".
