Introducing again.
Hi all,
I seem to be able to find the time to come on here a bit more and figured I should probably stop lurking so much!
DH, me and DS are all Australian living in Indonesia, there are a ton of new faces here so figured I should say hi before posting again.
Jakarta, Indonesia.

Re: Introducing again.
I figured you had to be someone who was around more before because I wasn't recognizing you...so thanks for the intro!
I myself am guilty of lurking a lot lately what with my mom being here and the baby coming soon. I'm an American living in Madrid with my Spanish DH if you hadn't caught that before. We're awaiting our first multicultural bebe...starting to get impatient here!
Anyway, hopefully we will both stop lurking around and be more active.
See you around!
ETA: Your picture is amazing! I love elephants!
Thanks! Not too bad, we have been here six months now so the honeymoon phase is definitely over, we are getting used to it though, there are some things that just make me shake my head and wonder but generally speaking we are settled with a nice group of friends and Otto is having fun with all the extra people to play with.
How is KL? We have to head there soon, DH family is from Malaysia and considering we have the first born son of that generation it is important we go and see them all soon.
Thanks, Otto is absolutely in love with elephants at the moment so we get to see a lot of them.
Good luck with your first baby, I remember the impatience, I was never very good at waiting, luckily Otto wasn't either and came a few days early.
Thanks!
It is a hard question to answer, in South Africa there really weren't any expat groups but there was a large component of my DH's work which were so we all hung out together. Here there are a huge amount of expat groups and no one from my DH's work! I think having a child just makes you get out more and make friends, the expat community here is really well established and there is always something to do, with or without kids. That being said the amount of young families here means that a lot of activities are organised by people with children or with children in mind.
I am not sure whether my DH's family is from KL originally but they pretty much all live there now.
Thanks, I was able to figure out who you were, your LO #2 looks a lot like LO#1!
I know, it equally thrills and saddens me, it all just goes way to fast but the more they grow the more new adventures we get to have I suppose.
Sadly for him not yet, but he will probably get one while we are away for Christmas.
Yes,she does look like him, only she has red hair! Otto is so big now, I read your blog and he is a doll!

Welcome back!
I have been lurking a lot lately, school is kicking my butt and keeping me very busy.
Thanks, I really need to update it a bit more.
Doesn't it suck how life gets in the way of nesting? Congrats on your exciting news!
Thanks nice to 'see' everyone around again.
