America

I have finally gotten around to updateing our blog!!! It has only been over 2 years since I last posted!! We are happily settled in Alpharetta and could not be happier. Well, I would be if the kids hadn't been off school for soooooo long. I love that my friends in England are excited about the beginning of the school holidays, and we are already planning for the kids to go back. The kids have had a good summer. Jonathan spent 5 weeks at the beginning in Dallas with my Dad. He had a brilliant time. I drove out to Dallas halfway through his stay with Eleanor, Andrew and Jacob. It is a 12 hour drive which took us two days, stopping for the night in Vicksburg, Mississippi which is on the banks of the Mississippi river. Andrew and Grandpa had a wonderful time together. Each morning when Grandpa would come downstairs he would be greeted with a big smile and hug! Today, Stuart and Eleanor left on their big adventure together. They are driving to Harrisonburg, Pennsyvania today and tommorrow onto New York City, then on Monday night they will head down to Washington DC and spend two night with my brother. We are hoping to get another trip in, hopefully the whole family together. The kids would like to go to the beach. We think we will take advantage of the great deals available on the Gulf Coast!!! Stuart would like to go to New Orleans, so might head there. In the meantime, it is just me and the four boys at home. Feeling slightly outnumbered. Chris has joined a new band called Mandroid Academy. Tonight was supposed to be his first concert with the band but they have had to cancel. So look out for them playing on August 13th, a Friday!!
