Six Months Down!

So we've now been here for six months! Hard to believe half a year has gone by. Although if I look back on the life we've made here so far, I'd say we're doing pretty well. Andrew is enjoying his job, I'm 37 weeks pregnant, our apartment is in good shape and we've made a few friends. We've also done some travelling, of course, to Estonia, Paris, and London.

Cindy, myself, and two other foreign mommies have formed our own little playgroup. Every Friday we get the kids together at one of our houses to socialize and watch the kids play.

My parents will be here in 10 days and will be staying for almost two weeks. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Baby Boy decides to make his arrival while they are here so that they don't miss out on the big event....plus we need them to watch Maddy while we're in the hospital, he he.

The weather has reverted to "typical Finland weather" and apparently this summer was quite rare to have such wonderful days. It's around 10-12 degrees every single day now, mostly cloudy, sometimes a bit of rain. I guess this is the typical weather. It's getting dark out earlier now, by 7:30pm currently, which is a big change from taking the dog out at 11pm and it still being light out.

Half a year gone by, it's been an adventure so far. And judging by the things we have coming up (a second child, a visit from Oma and Opa, and a trip to Canada), I'd say that the next six months are going to be even more exciting.

It's a beautiful day.
