Whirlwind of Settling

Who would have thought 'settling in' would mean a whirlwind of activity........errand running, appointment making, class attending, registration, enrollment, SHOTS!, and walking, walking everywhere (because we don't have a car and if you read my previous blog.....I'm in no rush to tackle a Japanese Drivers license).
Anywhooooo, it's been so fun and I've gotten to know the Yokosuka base inside and out by now. I love to tackle the maps and then walk (or run) every square inch until it feels like home.
Max started school this morning (which helps with our 'hurry-up-and-get-out-of-the-hotel-room-for-the-day-before-you-kids-drive-me-crazy routine). He was such a trooper and looked just fine as I waved goodbye this morning (let me stress MORNING because school starts at 7:20AM....which is CRAZY!). He was happy to discover that there was two other boys that were new too.
Today has been quiet..............finally! And now I can start to blog...Yaay! I'll start posting pictures as soon as I find out what I can and cannot take pictures of on base......and when we finally get out on the scene. Thanks for all the comments guys...................I miss you all and love to hear from you!

Okay I almost never saw you guys when you were here but now that your gone it is not the same!! It looks like your just diving in to life there and you will be so well received because of your wonderful personality and cute family!! Good luck this week! And 7:20 school!? That's reason enough to keep me over here!!!

I'm so glad you are getting settled. Just make sure you tackle the drivers license thing before I get there so I can ask you for rides. :) We found your Maxx's shoe. Do you want me to drop it in the mail or bring it with us?
