quick update

just a quick update as i just have a few moments of internet time.

*we have been in the USA since dec 16th.

*right now internet is spotty or nonexistant at the moment--planets have to align or somesuch.

*we are in the process of moving all of our things from storage and my parents' home to our new rental home. distance between said storage and parents' home to rental home--400miles of wintery, blizzardy, Iowa-Minnesota roads...makes for interesting travel.

*rental house has old furnace that had been off for several months before we started moving in--commence fiasco of getting furnace guy to fix old furnace andthen we have frozen water pipes.

*water pipes thaw--fix burst pipes, turn water on, bathroom floods from broken toilet. fix toilet, need to rip out carpet in bathroom (who puts CARPET in the bathroom--gross!)---don't worry folks, any moolah we spend gets knocked off our rent.

*K starts new job working awake overnights during moving in fiasco--little sleep makes for tired crabby K. K likes her new job, though :)

*M falls and sprains his wrist. Learns about the American system of DIY medical care as we cannot afford a doctor bill. We miss the UK's National Health Service.

*L starts new school and LOVES it! She is adjusting well and making friends and loving riding a real yellow school bus to school.

*Z turned 12 and spent his Christmas vacation with us and had a great time being together.

*A turned a year and remains an inquisitive happy little boy.

*In all the hub-bub of moving, starting a new job, starting a new school, and birthdays, and holidays, we also added taekwando classes to our busy life. So far it is L and M starting out but eventually K will too, we just need a babysitter for A.

*I love this busy life and wouldn't change it for the world!

And now the baby wants his nay-nays to help him take a nap so I must go, and I am not sure when I will be back, I miss all my peeps in the blogosphere

take care for now my friends!
