Safe but smokey

We aren't in direct danger from the North Bay fires.  They are about 60+ miles and across the bay.  But with the winds and of course the sheer number of acres on fire (nearly 200,000) the smoke has become a serious concern.

Schools are in session, but no one is allowed to have outdoor recess or even to eat lunch outside.  Almost all athletic events have been cancelled for the past two days, and even events this weekend are being rescheduled. 

The devastation in the Napa area is extreme.  The death toll rises hourly and still there are over 500 people reported missing.   Locally this morning the smoke seems a little better, but today's forecast winds are expected to bring more smoke our way.

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!
