Jordan at last

So while most of you know we have moved from Thailand and are now in Jordan, we have not done well getting photos on the blog - sorry about that.

Anyway - so far Jordan is great.  We have a terrific apartment.  It is on the ground floor, which means we have our own private entrance and a yard.  The yard has some very cushy grass that wraps around the outside of the apartment.  There is a chain link fence, but it is covered in ivy so you cannot tell.  We have four bedrooms plus a very large dining room with a sitting area  as well as a living room with fireplace and of course a kitchen.  There are four bathrooms.  We are very close to the embassy.  The embassy community is very friendly and they have a good playground and big pool.  Usually there is a community event at least once a week (tex-mex night, steak night, etc.) which is fun.  There are so many families with children at the embassy so the kids have lots of friends.

Bryce is in school and is loving it.  He was at first very ambivalent, but them he settled in and found his groove.  In the morning when we drop him off, we are lucky to get a bye mom/bye dad before he is off and doing his thing. Aressa is making friends (going to play dates and play groups). 

We still have our old phone number (301-500-2155).  We are seven hours ahead of the east coast and eleven ahead of the west coast (currently with daylight saving time in US).  Like in Thailand we have two address (one for APO/DPO  and one for the pouch system).  Unlike Thailand, the mail is very very slow.

Our DPO address is:
Unit 6050
Box 343
DPO, AE 09892-0343

Our pouch address is:
6050 Amman Place
Dulles, VA, 20189-6050
