In Kentucky Again
We arrived at our apartment this morning around 3am. We had to stop in Knoxville for Frankie to deliver a letter of invitation to a man from Moldova. A family he knows from Moldova currently lives in Knoxville and are going back to Moldova for a visit. They're bringing their parents to the US and wanted to bring their brother back for a visit as well. In order to do that, a US citizen has to extend the invitation.It's interesting to me to see these people. The parents are in their 50's and have 7 children. Four daughters and two sons are here...one daughter is still in Moldova. There are like 6 grandchildren here as well. Yesterday the apartment they live in was bustling with activity and excitement. I was a little envious...large families seem like so much fun. But unless you hear them speak (several speak English very well, but you can detect the foreign accent) you cannot tell they aren't American.
I wish more Europeans would come to America.
Today will likely be a busy, boring day. I have to clean the apartment (after being gone two weeks). We have a stack of laundry to do, and groceries must be bought. Ugh. I want to start working on the nursery either today or tomorrow. We don't have much time! I managed to bring a changing table back to KY. Frankie's sister and brother-in-law and their babies, along with (possibly) his parents are planning to come up here for labor day weekend. On their trip they said they'd bring the crib from his parents. It matches the changing table we bought. Aside from buying a comfortable rocking chair or glider, that will be all the furniture we need (or have room for!).
