Busy, busy!

This past week has been a busy one. Busy is good though so I can't complain really!

Ethan has now started at his new school. He is settling in well and is his usual happy self. He hasn't quite got the confidence he had at his old school at the moment but he is getting there and is doing amazingly well for just a week. We had a special email from his teacher telling us how well he was doing and how kind and confident he has been with some things. We are very proud of how well he has coped with everything so far.

Today also sees the collection of our loan furniture etc and tomorrow the huge delivery of our shipping container with all our stuff in! I always find it quite stressful as it means having people traipsing around, trying to decide quickly where things go followed by the joy of packing items away. Crown should do most things like rebuild, unpack etc but there is always madness afterwards especially as Nic will be in work! However I am really looking forward to having my own stuff here.

The Mountains! Love them x
I am still missing my friends and family very much but feeling a bit more settled here. There is lots happening at Ethans school over the next few months which keeps us busy and I have some volunteering plans locally too. Plus I still need to get my driving license and Social Security number!

Lots to do as always!

The weather here continues to be just incredible. Sunny day after sunny day, sunrise around 6.30am and sunset about 7.30pm means we can do so much. We have been for bike rides, basketball in the park, dog walks etc all after Ethan gets home from school at around 4pm. The heat gets to around 32 celsius each day and is still around 27 going into the evening. It cools down overnight into the next morning. The humidity here is also very low so it rarely feels stiflingly hot. Visitors beware though, the altitude can get to some people massively! We will leave the mountain trips until you have acclimatized ;)

Anyway, enough waffling about the weather- what a very British thing to do!

Chocks Away old chap!
