Hello dear family!
Sounds like a lovely spring in MN.
Rebecca, the weather looks promising for water temperatures in May during your visit home!! Wish we would be there too.
Here's some of the latest here:
Most of you know Dave is home working and closing on the sale of our house (Friday). Good thing he's doing it, my heart is still broken that we had to sell 😟
He will be leaving Sat night and bringing two precious packages back to London: Kay&Mike!!! 😄
Tomorrow I will do the "check-in" at our long term rental. Praying it goes well. Only Ally & I have seen the house; hopefully it turns out to be a great spot for us since we signed a 3 year lease. The total rent we will pay over the course of that time makes me sick. We could buy a house in MN with it! We will be house poor now but without a house of our own 😐
But that's how it goes! Container should be delivered Friday. Move-in beginning Saturday. What bliss to sleep in our own beds again! And be re-introduced to our belongings which had made a long sea journey.
Looking forward to settling finally!
I will have the vonage line set up hopefully this weekend so that 952.944.1646 phone number will be functioning again! Alternatively we have enjoyed FaceTime/audio with those of you who have iPhones. Skype is great too. Please keep in touch!
Josh has an assessment at ASL Friday AM. Back in 3rd grade he received some extra support for reading; even though he was fine in Edina Schools, he tested low for reading on the SSAT (test he had to take a month ago for ASL). They are trying to determine if he can continue without support and if they can place him etc. Prayers please that he will have a spot one way or another.
Josh is practicing on a soccer team with friends from ASL twice a week near Wembley Stadium. He missed the registration for games unfortunately. But he loves those two practices!
Jonah&Ally are in Brussels for the final swim competition for the school season the next 3 days! They were really excited about it! Wish we could be there as many/most parents went to cheer.
Dave loves the job here and Jonah and Ally are so happy to be back at ASL. Josh and I will be settled properly by August 😉
I have been keeping my eyes peeled for job options, since ASL hired the internal applicant for the position that I wanted, which is what I expected but still a bummer (& her job was a one year replacement who is returning now). It's important for me to find a job, so probably I will sub next fall, which is great, easy and flexible! Just not as much ££.
Oh, and perhaps most important and exciting for everyone will be the arrival of FINCHLEY on March 18th! Has she forgotten us? What will she think of London doggie life?! Should be interesting! Our family will be complete once she gets here the kids say. 😍
