ACS Int'l School in Hillingdon has an amazing campus!

This house is quite unique - look at the large gold Chinese lanterns in the living room left by our landlords! It is supposed to be bad feng shui to have a big black beam running through the middle of your house. So far we have been unsuccessful in getting them to remove the lanterns. Maybe they will grow on us?!! The kitchen is good size and has a great view of the garden. These photos are from before we moved in. I need to take some more with furniture...

Our new house & first day of school...

We started this blog to keep our families and friends updated on what we are doing in England. It seems much easier to post several photos online than to email them one by one, since our juno account has such a small limit. We are loving our new house, especially the amazing back garden. The kids go and play out there for hours, and we have seen foxes many times in the mornings. They have a den a few yards over, and regularly visit our backyard. Last week the kids started school at ACS International School, and I sent some photos through email, but I will post more here. All three are really loving their teachers and have made some friends as well. It is going to be a great place for them, and I am happy we made the choice to live here. Stan has been gone for 2 weeks on an exercise in Malaysia, and will be home in 6 days. We all miss him, but are doing fine. I have been going to coffees and meetings at the school, and will probably end up volunteering a lot up there. I will write more tomorrow. Karen
