Our first two weeks in England

Hello all,

We have made it to England, and things are great. Sara and Jessica really love this place, and are adapting very well. We have found a house and even both of us will have a job. So many people tell us that we have rushed things, but I guess neither one of us wants to live out of our suitcases for much longer. Anyhow, I do not have any pics of our new home. But I am very excited about it. I will get some the next time we go over to it. Hopefully we are moving in on Monday.



First things first with the pic sequence. As you can see with the pics, we had a bit of luggage. The girls were such troopers. Not once did they complain about having to walk all over the London Airport. It really was not to bad of a flight. Once we were here, they put us up at a Bed and Breakfast. We have been staying in a Cottage at the Lakenheath Hotel. At first I did not care where we were. As they say, Jet Lag effects you much more once you grow up. We are finally out of that stage...thank Heavens!!! Anyhow, The first night we decided that we should celebrate with Fish and chips...GREASY! WE all felt like we had drank a full gallon of Oil by the time we were done. Even our next door neighbors were feeling the same. Oh well, did not move here for the food :). But we did find a Red Phone booth on our trip. So very England.



As you can see, a Carnival came to town. It was so much fun. Jessica and Sara ran around the playhouse forever. And of course we could not miss out on the bumper Cars. Jessica drove me around, and she is nuts. I do have a video of her driving, but the loud women screaming, GO Jessica is quite annoying!!! But she was so great, She screamed at me for about 30 seconds telling me how fun that was. They both had some great prizes to get. It was a lifesaver, we needed some new toys around here.



Well these last are some random pics. We went to Bury St Edmonds this weekend. They had a market going that was GREAT. I think that is going to be my fav part about England is the amazing deal on fruit and veggies at the market. I have never found better prices then here. Anyhow, Kendrick and I just wanted to make Brock and his boss salivate a bit with the GIVI helmet. So Mom, if you talk to him, make sure he sees this one just for it :, and I found a BonMarche here!!!! Can you believe it. The forests are amazing, I feel like a Werewolf should be jumping out at any moment.

Well tomorrow is the 4th for us. We have a picnic to be going to. I know it is crazy but I do wish I was with you all to celebrate it. The party for the Murray fam sounds Great. We do love you all and we shall talk to you soon
