Dressing Up on Sundays

London is a very formal town. I can't quite comprehend the clothing budgets people must have. And the shoes! Women will wear heels everywhere. Even the airline stewards have a bit in their safety presentation reminding you to take off high heels before going on the emergency slide. Anyway... what I meant to say, is that we are dressing up a little bit more too. Paul and I both dress more formally than we did, and on Sunday, we all get dressed for church. I know this is common in the States too, but somehow we really didn't do it. Now we do, and it is fun to see the boys in their jackets, and K in a dress :).

I think it's your neighborhood! My neighborhood was slightly more "urban" and less formal. :)

First Day 4th Grade!

Bye Bye Birdie!

Tom was Ed Sullivan in the production this weekend of Bye Bye Birdie! Kate donned her sock-hop costume from 5th grade to embrace the spirit of the show. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical, Bye Bye Birdie is set in 1958 and was influenced by Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957. Congrats, Tom!!

100 days left

We have just over 100 days left in the UK. The kids are super excited to get back to the States, and we are too. We have had a great time here, but look forward to being 'home'. This is the last week of term, and only term 3 left! The last term supposedly goes fast, as the weather improves, there are Suzuki concerts, the talent show, and lots of field trips. We have some travel still lined up, plus some visitors to join us - looking forward to seeing you, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Aaron! Stayed tuned for pictures of our last few adventures. We are starting to get the ball rolling on movers and pet shippers and all that fun stuff. And we have to have the whole flat cleaned once our stuff is out. One step at a time!
