Not in Sweden anymore :)

Today was a good day filled with lots of good chats and conversations with both new friends and colleagues.  Adam and Jay met an adorable boy from New Zealand who loves playing "Dragonvale" as much as they do and they had their first, albeit impromptu, first play date here at our place ... He only lives 3 houses down where they've made numerous other friends :). The boys seem to be adjusting well, although Jay wakes up telling is that he isn't going to orientation week child care, and yesterday, as we approached our flat, I said, "Look guys, I see our street right there, we must be close"...in which Jay replied, "that's NOT our street Mom, Congress Street is OUR street!!!"  I hear you, sweet boy...you miss home.  Overall though, both he and Adam are laughing, playing, and their usual sweet selves.  Fingers crossed that it stays that way.  Our packages arrived today after Jon made some things happen at the airport cargo customs area.  It's a lengthy, frustrating process, but my guy got 'er done.  A very nice, fragrant man with a long beard delivered everything today and it's like Christmas with all of the boxes and reintroduction a to toys...not to mention my shoes and wine opener ;)

We took the trek out to Ikea tonight and it was quite the experience.  First off, drivers got a bit confused, bringing some of us to a large gray, concrete warehouse (not quite Ikea, but I see the resemblance).  Another driver took a group of us to a Kia car dealership (closer yet, but not there yet).  We were really hungry and eager to get our plate of ikea meatballs...order up.  Not the same meatball, much more lamb tasting and a different overall flavor...not good in our opinion ... big bummer but ice cream saved the day.  We scored our current must haves and headed home where early bed is in high gear.
