The first day we discovered that people here in
We are very blessed to have received a furnished home. There are a few things missing like a can opener and baby chair, but do we really need those things? We will get a can opener but the baby chair we could maybe do without. We have a semi-nice view out of our windows. There is a building blocking part of our view but other than that we get to see some parts of
There is one set of keys to the apartment, hopefully we don’t misplace them. If we do we can’t get in or out of our apartment. This is a picture of the front door knob. We have to turn the key about three times for it to unlock/lock. I nearly couldn't open it the first day, a little scary.
Here is our living room. I like the door. We spend most of our time here keeping the room warm with one heater. Parker and Lincoln have a lot of space to play.

We still haven't really figured out what that second sink/toilet is for. With the language barrier we understand it to be a place where I can shave my legs. I don't know though, they had a second sink like this at the University so the shaving legs thing didn't make sense. Plus the lady said something like men and women sit differently on it. Who knows? If you do know please tell us.
For the first time in my life I have not had a clothes dryer. We are very blessed to have a washer and a clothes line. I’m learning how long it takes for certain types of clothing to dry. I have to be on top of the laundry or we could be finding ourselves a bit cold. Sorry no picture of our laundry drying.

It's a bidet :) The first time I visited John's parents house I wondered what was up with that second toilet thing . . . I barely found out this morning when I asked! http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Bidet The things you learn when you leave the States . . .
You crack me up with the 2nd toilet thing. Haha. It's a bidet. You use it to clean yourself off after you go potty. They have them in the states too. I have never actually used one, but its supposedly a lot better than toilet paper. This totally made me laugh.
Wow--this post brings back a FLOOD of memories!!! Looks like a GREAT apartment--and BIG. Jenna and Lindy are right--it's a bidet...and truthfully, it is SO much nicer than toilet paper. I liked to use it to wash my feet during the summer--all we had was a shower--not a tub. It was also nice to use as like a basin to clean the bathrooms. Oh, the bidet---you make me laugh so hard Krista! :)
Krista. You are a crack up!! Love, love the bidet...not that I really want to know if it cleans better than toilet paper though. I can't believe you are in Europe with those two boys, what an adventure.
What great pictures! I love your apartment and especially the "second toilet!" It sounds interesting! I am glad you are keeping warm and that you have a nice apartment! Enjoy every crazy minute of your time! Love you tons!
