Drama King...

Since we arrived in the UK, Hunter's vocabulary has grown so much. He says things (not bad things) and we have no idea where he's learned them. This morning though, I laughed extra hard. He just sat down at the table to eat his waffle and started crying for his juice. I told him after we said the blessing I would get it for him. So I gave him his juice, told him to use words instead of crying, and went to the kitchen to make coffee. While I was in there I could hear him saying, "It's all my fault." pause "What happened to me?"

hmmm, Can you say drama king?

Fresh Start

One of the great things about moving to a new place is the chance to start over. It's very refreshing- something different lies around every corner. A new home, new job, new church, and new friends. And being in a different country makes it all extra exciting!

God has provided for every need since we've been here, which has been entire month already! After a week and a half being here, we moved into our new home. Our things didn't arrive for another week, so we're still unpacking. English homes normally don't have much storage space, so we are having to be creative finding a home for everything. Aaron's work here is much less stressful than it was in SC-such a blessing! He quickly became good friends with a guy in his office who is from our neck of the woods back home. Him and his wife has a daughter who is 5 and gets along great with Hunter. She's playing the "big sister" part very well! We've really enjoyed spending time with them . They're the ones who introduced us to our new church and church family. It's a close knit church with about 80 or so members. We already feel at home there after visiting only a few times.www.alconburybaptist.org

It's lots of fun learning about the differences in the British cultural and American cultural. There are differences large and small. The small ones are the ones you would least expect. For example, they eat differently than we do. They ALWAYS use a fork and knife. The knife is used to section off a bite and push the food onto the fork. They also always use the fork with the prongs pointed down. Something else- If someone bumps into you, they won't say excuse me. They're not being rude. It's just that the phrase "excuse me" here is used to get anothers attention and not an apology.

The weather has been wonderful here. We're hoping to take some trips soon. Once we do, I'll make sure to blog it and post some pics.

Please continue to emails us and keep us posted on all the happenings at home. Love to you all!
