Beau goes to school and NWA 10 p.m. news

We finally found and settled on a preschool for Beau. It was quite a chore, but on Thursday he'll start preschool at The Children's Hour in Blue Springs. He's excited and ready to get going - ok, so mostly he's ready to check out the playground. Beau is all of a 3-year-old little boy. I hope The Children's Hour is ready for the likes of him. He'll keep them busy!

Brayden has been enjoying cousin Ele this week, and Aunt Snefanie and Mazy are coming for the day tomorrow. It's nice to be close enough that they can do that.

Small town news rocks
We're now in the middle of our second week here, and we just figured out that the TV in the bonus room will get local channels. We've been without our Dish since we moved, but it's getting installed on Friday just in time for the opening cermonies of the Olympics. A very, very important thing, you know.

Nate's watching the news, and the big stories are that a guy in Bella Vista (a neighboring town) lost his two dogs, Ranger and Brody. Ranger has been found, and we're all thankful for that, but the call is out to all viewers to keep reporting on if and where they think they see Brody so he can get home safely. Oh, and the Razorbacks football team has new uniforms. I love small town news. Seriously. I love it.

Review: Salisbury, UK 🪨🪨🪨 1/2

The specific reason to go to Salisbury is to see Stonehenge. It was a nice town with some good food and very friendly people. But we probably won’t find a reason to go back - it’s about a two hour train ride from either Bristol or London. Pros: Tuesday and Saturday farmer’s market, walkable, good food and pubs. Tinga was our favorite, and we wish there was one in Bristol. Cons: Out of the way, roads are narrow and busses drive really fast (watch out!), all shops close around 5:30 with restaurants open later, Stonehenge was about a 20 min drive, limited hotel options Lodging: Milford Hall Salisbury (an IHG)

Trains, planes and automobiles: Stuttgart🚆➡️ Munich✈️➡️ Bristol🚖

This was the day we’d designated to celebrate Thanksgiving 🙏 with Brayden and Carlie. So Nate, Beau and I left our hotel in Stuttgart at 6:45 am 🚆 to head to Munich and catch a flight ✈️ to Bristol via Amsterdam. Security in Munich was smooth sailing so we had a ton of time to wait, but there aren’t really restaurants or anything, which is weird. What I was really worried about was our 55 mins between planes in Amsterdam. We arrived about 5 min late and it took forever to get off the plane. For whatever reason, in Amsterdam even to change planes in a different part of the airport you have to go through passport control, and the line is LONG. We’ve now done it three times… Anyway, great news was KLM airlines knew we had a short connection so automatically sent a “fast pass” of sorts. Bad news was it was .8 miles from gate to gate plus passport control. And we had about 35 mins. 🏃‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽Somehow we made it! Whew! So back to the real reason for the travel…When we arrived at...

At long last

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I've posted anything. I know below it says Oct. 31, but that's when I wrote that - it actually posted on Nov. 19. Hey, I have to defend myself and my horrible lack of posting a little! Let's see - there's so much that's gone on. I'll start recent and see what else I can remember over the past month. It's the most wonderful time of the year Cousin Ele spent the night Saturday night, and we woke up to breakfast in bed from the kiddos. It was very, very sweet. Picture this - Nate getting pelted in the head by a Juicy Juice box along with Beau jumping on top of him saying, "Daddy! Guess what?!" I, on the other hand, had two, sweet angels (Brayden and Ele) on my side of the bed handing me apple cide in a cup with a lid complete with Spiderman atop and a yellow straw. We both were presented "peanut butter toast." Here's the ever-so-sweet, yet very funny part of our "peanut butter t...
