Singapore Recap - Late Blog Post!

**LATE BLOG POST


Before blogging about our new little monster, Bruno, the last time I blogged was in March. How did that happen? The days kept getting away from me; running after a toddler while pregnant sucked me dry every single day. So many things happened between March and July. I'll try to recap.

  • We moved into our condo ((I guess you already knew that)), what you didn't know is that we regretted our decision the first night at our new place. Little did we know, sleeping in the master bedroom would be unbearable due to traffic noise. The good news is, the gorilla (aka as Steve's company), somehow convinced the landlord to install double glazed windows to reduce traffic noise and they did (and paid for it). What a relief.
  • Joined awesome playgroups with Roxana, established a good routine and met some amazing ladies from all over the world.
  • I stopped getting lost while driving..... kind of. Thank God for Google Maps App!
  • Did some traveling to Bali, Indonesia; Bintan, Indonesia and Thailand...pretty amazing beaches on this side of the world (more on that later).
  • Started finding little treasures around town for family outings - water parks, parks, playgrounds, pubs with play areas (and in the process, we found Steve's favorite German beer (Andechs - huge highlight!)
  • My friend Beate hosted a beautiful baby shower for Bruno
  • My sister hosted a sweet and unique International Baby Shower for Bruno
  • My mom arrived in late June to help us with the arrival of Bruno
  • Cassie flew across the world to welcome (and meet) Bruno into the family -- more on this later!
