First Two Weeks

We arrived in the US 2 weeks ago today. Here is a little of what we've been up to.

M's first day of school. She goes to the same school as Kate but she is the grade above her. They do get to play together during recess/lunch and they walk home together. M thinks the school lunches are a novelty and said she enjoyed them until yesterday's lunch which was fish shapes and she said it wasn't good. Josh also thinks school lunch is a novelty and he is interested to see what is on the menu each day. Parents can go and eat lunch with their child any time they like, so Josh and I are going to go down and do that someday soon. It will be fun for Josh to get to see what an American school lunch time is like.
We had some snow yesterday, which M went out to play in after school. On Monday nights we have games and treats as a family. Last night it was a tie between M's team (with Kate and Sara) and Mum and Dad.Josh was pleased to have received his social security card on Saturday which gives him his SS# that he needs for a bunch of things, like getting a driver's license or opening a bank account. He also got his green card yesterday which we both thought was very quick processing!

When I went to that school they used to do French dip sandwiches, which I thought were gross, but they would serve peanut butter bars with them and they were delicious. If they still do it you should go on that day for the PB bars alone.

I'm glad 007, who I notice you now call Josh, got all of his documentation, hopefully that will make things easier.

It's nice to see a picture of Mum and Dad, they're such a good looking couple. I request more pictures of them!

Sounds like you are settling right in. Hope the job follows very soon. I second Tara's comment about picture of Mum and Dad, especially as they aren't blogging very often!

I am glad all your stuff is sorted now Josh and it was pretty quick. I bet you are glad you get to drive your new car now. It is always so much better when you are mobile! Once I could drive in Wales, it made me feel much happier/ more like myself.
