Whew!

So much to say and it feels like I've missed many anopportunity to blog about exciting details of our life...But then again I've been busy just living it and I'm glad about that.

I'll just do a few words to recap our life these day, kinda like the "popcorn" prayers we used to do at church. Sorry to those who don't know what I'm talking about.

Jesse's summer school started this week which included a train ride to and from and exciting park in Burlingame

We've now enjoyed a month of friendship with Jesse and Luci's new friends Pretty (almost 4) and Strong Claire(almost 2) and her mom Lisa. We met at and hang together at Wednesday night dinner and church on Sunday. Shared ice cream at Dolores Park today!

Boxes are being packed and given away or stored iin prep for our move.

Jesse wants to move to London in "like 2 days" so Christmas and his birthday can come quickly.

I am doing the preschool search as much as I can from here, and it's a tad difficult but hurray for state-funded preschool!

Darren and sidekicks have finished a several day long training for InnerChange's summer exchange interns. I'm excited that 3 are going to my beloved Starlight in Boston.

Luci's not so great at using the toilet. Don't think I'll be proclaiming "Potty-trained" for a while.

John and Deanna Hayes, who have gone ahead of us to London, have settled into an apartment in Tower Hamlets and I finally feel that the move is upon us. It's exciting to have a neighborhood pinned down and I am already researching it from afar, throught the internet or chatting with the Hayes.
