Another Update

We're still not moved into our house, but we're kind of camping out there. After 3 weeks in a hotel, we decided to sleep at our house even though we're still waiting for our stuff to get here. (There were no hotels in Snoqualmie, so I was driving the kids all to school in the early morning hours from Issaquah.) Today our first batch of things arrived. It's the things we were able to ship by air from Tanzania, so now we have kitchen stuff, sheets, and some toys. Yippeee!

We all love it here. Snoqualmie is a great place for kids. Britton, Taylor and Colin have enjoyed the nearby parks and all the neighborhood kids. School is off to a good start for all of them as well. Britton is at scouts right now with Tim on a canoe trip. There are lots of fun things to do around here, especially right now before the rain kicks in. :)

I want to get some pictures posted, but we're not really set up for that yet, and things are kind of crazy. I'm looking forward to when life settles down a bit, and I'm able to get back into blogging. Until then, we're alive and well.

First Day of School


We still don't have very many pictures downloaded on this computer since coming back to America. I plan on posting more pictures, but right now it's just too much effort to get them from the lap top. :) Here's one of Britton and Taylor's first day of school. (Colin started the following week.) We celebrated by buying overpriced popsicles at the strategically placed ice cream truck outside Taylor and Colin's school. The kids were beside themselves with joy to have access to cartoon shaped popsicles again.
