All is well - just really busy - for our first 5 days in America as a threesome. We got all of the mail and bills taken care of yesterday. We are bonding well. We are cooking and cleaning. We have not settled into a strict routine as it is difficult to find a block of hours between Stuart and I to agree to our family "rules." We want to make a short yet concise list and have about 10 lists drafted. The issue is, there are many small things like turn off the lights when you leave the room that "take up space on the list." Oh well - we will find time for this. We chose a pediatrician and have our first doctor's appointment on the 19th of May. We are working on school options and dance scheduling right now. Many opportunities do not start again until summertime, after the school year ends. The most exciting part of the last 5 days has been "Where's Karina?" We have been role playing Hannah Montana (who has two personas - Miley Cirus and Hannah Montana). The three of us act out scenes from the TV series and Karina has Papa's old microphone (a real one, cool! even though it doesn't work), a wig, hat, sunglasses, and Hannah clothes. She even has a guitar! We also do a lot of swinging in the park and playing Hide-&-Seek at the park. "Where's Karina" is commonly heard in a fun way! Here's "Hannah"! Where's Karina?
Wow! (Thanks to the "Tangled" wig, since Hannah wigs are no longer on the market) - That's some hair, Hannah!
p.s., Karina wrapped a gift for the first time yesterday. She had never bought a gift for someone before and nor wrapped it! She has never been invited to a party as an individual before either! Yesterday, it was exciting to do this with her! She picked out a really nice gift, too. She has good taste in our opinion. She was thoughtful and considerate.
