Thanksgiving in the UK

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Hope you are enjoying your Black Friday deals. 

We had a good day, but it was very different.  We truly missed all of our family and friends in the States.

We had some celebrations in the classrooms, and then had a small dinner here.  We cooked a chicken, skipping the turkey.  The UK is big on sides for dinners, so without more than a few touches on the microwave, we had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and creamed spinach.  Sorely missed were the creamed onions, stuffing, scalloped corn, good sweet potatoes... etc, etc.  But I didn't miss washing all the Turkey Day dishes!

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!
