New Apartment

Our move is finally complete! We moved from our unit in Summer block to a unit in Spring block. The move took a total of three days and we are now approximately 50 yards closer to Orchard Boulevard. The move was fairly painless, just a few minor issues along the way. The kids are pretty excited about the new place because the layout gives them more room to run around!  Ainsley likes to say "we live in seven instead of eight" since we are on the seventh floor now, rather than the eighth floor.

A virtual tour of our new apartment during the move and after...

The living room before anything was moved in:

Our new view is looking at the pool and common areas (it was raining when I took this so it looks dreary!):

The family room with Kara throwing a fit (you can't see her face but she is screaming):

The dining room (the kitchen is the first door on the left and the guest room is the second door on the left):

The girls room:

Jack's room:

Master room:

The kid's playroom:

The living room with everything finally set up (complete with Matt's new toy, an Apple TV.  I think we could write an entire blog post on how much we love the Apple TV):

Living room with our view:

We are happy in our new place and appreciate the new layout with extra space.  We love our new view of the other side than what we had before and we are glad we got to stay in the Four Seasons.  Matt says he absolutely loves the new place.  I like it, but I am a little sad about leaving our old place.  Lots of memories there, and a place we called home for two years.  For Jack and Kara it was the only home they knew!  But the new place is starting to grow on me and we will enjoy it for the remainder of our time in Singapore.  The next time we pack up to move it will be a much bigger endeavor than just moving across the complex :-)

On Sunday we went to a birthday party for one of Jack & Kara's friends.  All three had a ton of fun.  Jack especially LOVED the ball pit.  He stayed in there for about an hour.

Jack and Kara dancing:

Ainsley's new thing is climbing.  She climbs everything.  At home she climbs on top of the cabinets. the washing machine, furniture, toys, etc.  On the playground she somehow climbs to the top of the entire structure (and gives me a heart attack) and tries to climb trees and lamp posts.  At this play gym instead of climbing the normal stuff, she was trying to scale the walls of the entire structure that is surrounded by this netting.  Again giving me a heart attack.
