Our London Adventure Has Begun!

We made it to London!  It is still hard to believe that this will be our home for the next two years.  Our trip here was very smooth.  Nathan fell asleep right before they wheeled our the dessert cart and he did not wake up until we began our final descent.  Of course, it helped that we took off shortly before his bed-time (and the lie-flat seats didn't hurt either).  Nathan (and Elmo) also did a great job patiently waiting to clear customs.

We have begun to get settled, but still have a ways to go.  We're hoping to get our air shipment of our belongings from Pasadena by the end of the week.  Once we get all of our things and have them all fully unpacked, I think this will really feel like home.  Chris and I fell in love with our flat when we saw it in May and it is proving to be even better than we thought it would.  Nathan is loving the fact that our patio opens out onto the neighborhood garden.  He loves running around the big grassy area!

We are also very grateful to have Uncle Casey here staying with us for a bit.  Nathan loves playing with him and he is also pretty good at putting together IKEA furniture :)

Thank you all for the well wishes on our new adventure!  I will try to keep you all updated on how we're doing.
