Well, we have been in England now for 3 months on Wednesday. I must say, it feels like three years! Everyone's schedule has settled nicely, all except Chris'. Although he is on swings regularly, he was just put on 12 hour shifts. We got to have supper together but we won't see him for the rest of the weekend. What can I say, life in the military!
Ian finished out the basketball season and lettered as a sophomore! He did all sorts of traveling as well! Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Germany was the end of the season tournament so he was gone for a week! It was too long for the both of us. He turned 17 this year and is in full swing with baseball. This is new! He has never had the opportunity to play baseball  before. He plays first base as a left-hander and relief pitches. We were so excited that he chose to play as we are avid Twins fans!!! I am certain the Grandpa Fred will be, too! 
Nora turned 15 a few days and is still blossoming into a beautiful young woman. She is working very hard to learn her part in the spring play. She just finished a duologue piece with a classmate for the Shakespearean Festival at school last week.  She stays pretty close to home but next year plans on playing three sports! She and I worked on a power point project for her French class the other day and I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge she had when it came using all the software! She has made many friends and  is my muse when it comes to the British trends in fashion! As you can imagine, the trends are different over here. We love watching the British TV show, Gok's Fashion Roadshow, together!
Hunter is all boy! I saw a defination of the word boy the other day that desribed him to a T!...Boy; a noise with dirt on it. For sure! Once he got used to riding the lush school bus, he became a little more comfortable walking by himself to the bus stop. He and his class have been very busy! They all went to a play about Mother Goose in Bury St Edmunds this past December. They are also planning on going the the Dinosaur Adventure park. That should be fun. Maybe I should go with! The highlight for Hunter so far has been our trip to the ocean at Great Yarmouth. Its about an hours drive from home and we had a blast when we got there. It was very cold and windy but Hunter could have stayed there all day! While we were there we toured Sea Life. It was awesome! 
I posted some random pictures and hope to get some more up in the near future! Take care and God Bless! We are indeed thankful to Him for all of our blessings and opportunities! Cheers!!! OXOXO
