At last, I write

And so, here we are-- in Texas. Having never been to Texas, I was uncertain as to what we should expect... but it seems that it is as with all things.. exactly what you make of it.

The kids are settled in at school, the three we have with us, a football player, a basketball player and a cheerleader! The drummer is still living the enviable life of an only child with her Dad in MS.

We have been volunteering as a means to find our way around and to see what interests the kids. For worthy causes also!

Check out http://rockride-org.doodlekit.com/home R.O.C.K., Ride On Center for Kids, located in Georgetown, is a non profit provider of therapeutic horseback riding and Hippotherapy for individuals with cognitive and physical challenges.

Also, we painted two restrooms at Starry and then we worked a coach car on the Austin Steam Train.. http://www.austinsteamtrain.org/

Things are tough for us economically, hence the move here for employment, but we are surviving. We go hiking and swimming and cook together...sometimes we make two trips as we currently don't all fit in the car at once! hahahahaha

Though the city is not yet our home, it is a nice place to live. People are always outside with their pets or kids, and there are tons of parks and cultural activities.

We are attending a great church, though it is HUGE--- we are trying to integrate.
