We are here!

We just wanted to inform everyone that we made it here safely! Our flights went smoothly. Possibly the easiest flights yet. On the over night flight we each had our own TV on the seat in front of us. So the kids and Blake watched Kung FU panda 2, then ate dinner and went to sleep. Alissa fell asleep almost before the plane took off. Then she woke up about 45 minutes before we landed. Remi and Broden woke up when it was time to get off the plane. Parker fussed a little, but basically only when hungry or poopy. Other than that he just slept or played.

When we got to England we got all our checked baggage(9 bags 2 car seats and a stroller) and our carry ons(2 carseats, 3 backpacks and a purse) and got them situated on 2 carts. When I got our stroller I realized the wheel was broken off. I looked closer and a piece of plastic had snapped and it wasn't repairable. It would work, kind of though. So I headed to customer service and they filed a claim and told me what to do. Basically I go buy a new stroller then submit the receipt and they will reimburse me. A pain, but I guess we get a new stroller. It was pretty funny watching me push the stroller. I would stick the front left wheel under the stroller where it was supposed to go. It would work just fine until I put pressure on the back, then the wheel would roll right out from under the stroller. When we go to TLF(temporary living facility) I duck taped it so it will work for now.

Our sponsor, Tony(Dentist here assigned to take care of us) met us at the airport with a driver and a huge van to haul us to base. It took us about 3 hours to get from London to the base and we got checked in and kind of moved into our little temporary house. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, patio tons of closets and a full kitchen. I could handle living here for 3 years! Too bad we have to move out on Thursday.

After moving all our stuff into our room we headed to the commissary for a few grocery's. Blake and the kids hadn't eaten anything healthy. When we got back Tony and his wife Audrey and their 3 adorable boys came over. They brought us 2 dinners and other essential groceries for living in a new place and not knowing anything or having a car. Amazing people!

We ate our yummy lasagna, salad, bread and veggies, then Blake took the kids to the park while I cleaned up. Then we put the kids to bed. Ingersoll's came over for a few minutes, and now I am headed to bed too. Blake is already sleeping. Like it here so far. Most things are foggy though. Not enough sleep.
