Getting adjusted to life in the UK

We are slowly adjusting to life in the UK. Carson is enjoying his day nursery a lot--so in August we are letting him attend 5 days a week in the afternoons. Kevin is learning his way around town and adjusting to all of the differences here---lots of small things that add up to one big adjustment! Tracy is busy with work but liking the new job a lot.

Some of the key differences we've noted so far since getting into our house:
- windows don't have screens which equals lots of bugs getting into the house
- we had to buy a separate small fridge just to keep our drinks in so they stay cold
- people generally work shorter hours than in the US and on Friday's the office is dead by 4pm
- people in the UK love animals--charities to save animals were around well before charities to help underprivledged children
- taco seasoning tastes like curry
- watermelon is not very sweet in the UK
- strawberrys are very fresh and tasty in the UK
- milk and yogurt are really cheap
- Bounce dryer sheets cost the about $10USD for a pack of 30

We get internet next week so we will post more frequently then.
