The school year has begun

Ok, well I did better than I thought. Kayla has started her time as a sixth grader and miss Madelyn is now a kindergartner. We did drop her off at her classroom, and I held it together as best I could. Kayla decided to take the bus in for her first day along with her new friends. Of course now we heard today that Kayla got lost again in school again, we all had a laugh at that. What wasn't a laugh was poor Maddy was sent home on the wrong bus and was sent to the afterschool program that she was not signed up for yet. Thankfully today she did make it home today on the proper bus.

Regarding the trip over the pond, Laura and I had a very tiring trip. After making it there first thing in the morning, we put the bags down and went out touristing. Not sure how much walking we did, but for two days straight we basically walked. Then a week of work along with trying to get in for some nighttime sights.

I'll post the pics next chance I get, there were some good ones. I will also post some pics of the girls from their first days, they looked beautiful.

That's it for now, hope someone is viewing the postings.

Over the pond

Well, been a couple months and Noni made her trip down. After a long day of flights and a few delays she landed in Pensacola. She'll be visiting with the girls and getting a chance to have some fun for the next few weeks.

In the meantime, Laura has some business to do in the UK, so I am coatailing along. We'll make our first trip together over to the Croydon office. We are both pretty excited about going together. The last time I was there, I went for a week on my own with far too much work to accomplish. I didn't get a chance to go out and do much sight seeing, so this will give us a chance to go and see the sights.

If anyone wants a house in Ocean Acres, ours is still available unfortunately. We won't go into that, but its still on the market.

Things are still going well down here for us all. Maddy and Kayla are done summercamp now with Noni's arrival. They still get to go and do their swim lessons. Kayla has moved up another level and Maddy is now almost ready to swim all the time without her bubble. Good accomplishment for the both of them with only a couple months of swimming.



I'll leave you with a pic of the house if you haven't seen it yet. This is from the listing, nothing really has changed much except the wall colors on the inside.

Take care and we do miss you all. But let us know if anyone is interested in a trip to the south.
