Sick family

Yay, it's not been a week and we're posting again :)

It's been a sick household. Ryan was sick on Friday. Which was a shame as we had tickets to see the local baseball team followed by fireworks. Unfortunately he and Mayzie had to stay home. Tim and I had a good time. Tim did great, although it was a bit annoying every time he had to go pee (five times) and we left all our stuff and hiked through the stadium (those of you familiar with the Sky Sox will know that was a short hike). But the fireworks were great.

Tim proceeded to get sick on Sunday evening. This next bit might gross you out of a bit, sorry. So you know when you have an itchy nose you kind of rub it back and forth vigorously with the back of your hand? and you know when you are vomiting it sometimes comes out of your nose? well imagine both of those situations together and that was what I was greeted with when I went in to see Tim about 10:30 Sun evening. MUCH washing was done, even wiped the walls. Sorry all :).

Mayzie got the bug last night, so assuming the 48 hour time frame continues, I expect to get it tomorrow. Really hoping I am wrong. Although as long as I am better by the weekend as it is the boy's birthday parties.

On the plus side though. Dad arrived Saturday evening and Mum Monday evening. Is great to have them here, and not only so they can take six suitcases of our stuff home. This will be a little taste of what life will be like immediately following our arrival into the UK. They have graciously allowed us to stay with them while we get settled. We are hoping to get our own place fairly quickly in the UK, but without having jobs who knows how open to that any prospective landlords will be? Anyone out there know of a 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bathroom house for rent in Royston, let us know. Will be paying cash.

We have sold a few more items, including the entertainment console - probably our biggest sale to date. Have also listed our bedroom set as a potential buyer we had decided against it. Still have some dressers, and lamps to list but that will then be the big stuff listed on craigslist. Except the cars.  Am thinking we can list one of them now too. Since I am off work I don't think we need three, even with dad driving one. Four weeks and a few days left to sell it all!

Have also made many more reservations. Still planning on posting a route map, watch this space.
