Our new home:
I flew back to the UK and took my mom and the kids to Legoland Windsor (courtesy of Tesco clubcard points!). We drove down on Friday, stayed overnight in a hotel, and then spent the next day at the park.
After the Star Wars Lego Laser Show we got the kids changed into their pajamas and drove home.... arriving at midnight.
The last few days have required a lot of work regarding our current housing and our new house in TN. Signing paperwork, arranging insurance, selling UK electrical stuff (and a bunch of other stuff too), getting the house ready for check-out inspections, setting up air shipments, sea shipments, hotels, rental cars, and one-way flights (SAD!) back to the US. Then there's the usual tasks: school projects, playdates, housework, church callings, etc. Oh, and did I mention we've got house guests from Canada and the USA for the next 2 weeks? I've been planning and booking daytrips and other outings throughout England and Scotland for all of us. (It will be a very welcome break!)
It's good that I'm keeping up with it all so far... and anxiously looking forward to things settling down. In a few months.
Amidst all this excitement, the 'new' (now old) blog has filled up (I know... I need to adjust photo quality on uploaded photos...) My plan is to have this blog serve as a temporary fix to keep the postings up to date until we get settled in the States and I can broaden my technology skills to the point of creating something more lasting.
In the meantime, enjoy the update.
