Calling London Home

Hello. Matt & I decided to put together a pseudo-blog in order to keep family and friends updated and to stop inundating your e-mail boxes with new details and photos. This way you can check us out when you are thinking of us. Hopefully this will prove to be an easy way to keep you up to date.

We arrived in London about a week ago. The kids both did beautifully on the plane. Jet lag was a bigger deal than we anticipated, but we seem to have settled into a routine. Our flat is lovely - in a great area of London, within walking distance of most things we need. I am enjoying the daily run to the "fruit & veg" and brasserie. Matt is really enjoying his work. The kids seem fairly unfazed that we are in a new place. Within a few days Waverly was calling it "home", especially when her toys & books arrived.

We are hoping to enroll Wavey in a special nursery school for kids with hearing & speech issues. This will be a great social learning setting for her and a wonderful break for me. We should find out this week whether they will accept her into the program or not.

I am hoping to join a playgroup with other parents from the Embassy. We are also in the process of finding a church that will hopefully provide a source of friendships for the family. Not being lonely on the road is the key to making this a success.

We miss our family & friends very much. You must come for a visit. London is a lovely city, albeit incredibly expensive. We will be expert tourguides soon.
