Weekend Update

It was that kind of party...dirty feet, barn animals, ping pong and sand boxes..... We helped celebrate the first birthday of Maggie Kahn. It was a party with a mixture of British and American couples, with about 6 children under the age of 1.

The day was the first time in months that I felt a bit like we lived in London. After the past weeks, recovering from the stress of Dad's operation and recovery, and all of the stresses of living in a new city - I've well, been a bit "grumpy." My sweet husband has been kind enough to put up with me, and comfort me. But I think anyone would grow a bit tired of me - I was a bit tired of me. Somehow this weekend, I feel as if a fog has been lifted. Being around people who have moved here, and made lives, and laughing about all the things we've encountered....was exactly what I needed.

I can begin to see that we'll be very happy here. 70 degree weather in April, and cupcakes help a bit.
