This week Tuesday was Indonesia's national day of Independance. Lots of flags around town, and some festivities but not like those we'd experienced while living in Bandung. It was also a day off for Hugo. We had lunch at our home with some friends from Wamena and then hit the pool. Fun times!
The following day was the kids first day of school for this year. For Brynnie it really was her first day of school! She was very, very excited and kept asking me what time it was and telling me to make sure she wasn't late. Due to a teacher shortage her kindergarten class is from 12:00-3:00. Marc has to wait for his first day of school as his teacher is delayed due to visa issues. Poor guy...
Unfortunately for Christiaan he did not get a first day of school. That night he developed malaria and is still not feeling well at all. I hope it's just malaria and not also dengue fever! He's had malaria before but didn't feel as badly then as he does now.
In other not so fun news, the cust*ms people in Jakarta decided to open our crate and when they saw some radios we'd brought for a friend who lives interi*r, they decided that they were worth much much more than they actually are and are requiring us to pay an exhorbitant fee to have our crate released. We have the original receipt and it is on it's way to Jakarta. In the meantime they decided to take nearly everything out of our crate and look at it... ugghh.... I hope nothing "walks away"...
Aidan's mouth is healing nicely and he had his only remaining stitch removed today. The other one had come out on its own. If his teeth don't begin moving together after a couple months we may get him a retainer to help them along. A prospect Aidan is not looking forward to...
