Thanks.

We have been back in the US for one month. It is hard to believe it. One month ago I was rushing down High Street Kensington with Hoyer in his stroller, today I am in rush hour traffic and in line at the drive through bank. One month ago Kyle was hoping on the tube to get to work, now he jets off to Miami for the week. Things have changed and in many ways nothing has changed at all, but I have to admit, I think it is us who has changed more than anything or place.
I miss my friends in London, I miss my life in London but I am ready for my life in the US to start, wherever that may be....while some things are starting to feel like normal again others are a bit harder to get used to. Hoyer is used to his car seat, I know my way around town again, I have caught up with lots of friends and family, Kyle is busy at work, Hoyer is taking music classes, I have joined a gym etc. We are settling down into life. Our house is vacant now and we will begin to paint and update things in order to move in in the next week or two. (fingers crossed)
We had a great Thanksgiving with both sides of the family in New Orleans, Birmingham and Mobile. We have so much to be thankful for.

All signs point to milk

All of the sudden, my efforts have paid off and Hoyer has made me proud!! He has an understanding of the baby sign language I have been teaching him for the last 3 months. Milk is his first sign and I will post video of him doing it soon. It is really nice to know what he wants. Now, on to please and thank you.....

too cool for school

Hoyer has been weight listed. That' s right, 9 months old (today) and on the waiting list to get into school!!
We had a tour today and met the teachers at All Saints Preschool in Homewood, we can walk from our house (if we ever get in...!) I really liked the school and it goes all the way until the kids are 5 years old, so it is perfect for us. It is a mother's day out program for now, 9-1 and up to 5 days a week! I am wishing and hoping!
