We get to see the children from 4 to 6 today. Very exciting. Here are a few pics to tide you over.


The MarKuel entrance.

The cute and well-lit kitchen. It is easily six times bigger than what Kirstin and I had in Germany.

The loo in a closet unto itself. It really does make sense to separate this from the cleaning and bathing room. Many countries do.




We were super happy to find in a box on the deck this perky red potty seat, which I am posting a pic of just for you Papa, as you so appreciated the last potty seat post.

You can relax . . .

I know you've been very worried about that potty seat arriving in time. It did. It's fully installed and right cute. I'd post a picture, but I'm a wee bit busy panicking.

Big Rave for friend Jody who drove me around town yesterday providing the brains to the errand list.

You may also want to roll over to Tina's blog as she has some news.

And while you are surfing, check out John and Isabel's recent post on their Moscow experience.

don't forget a potty seat

Since Andy and Juliana are 6 and 5, I never really thought about potty seats, until I realized that -- though age 5 -- she is the size of a 3 year old and she's likely to fall in! Amazon.com to the rescue.
