Settling in

Okay. I finally have couple of minutes to myself to write a little on here.
We've been settling in London really well so far. My (Heather)
parents were here for the first couple of days which wa a huge help, and our good friends from NL just moved here as well to do the same thing as D. And to make it even less of a transition, our friends the MacGowan's were nearby visiting to help us unload everything they helped us pack :) A BIG thanks to everyone who helped us move.
Ella had a little trouble in the beginning adjusting and wanting to go back to Ottawa but nothing too bad and once we found a couple parks and things she was all set. London is a beautiful city and we are looking forward to enjoying all the things on this side of Ontario.
So far we've been to the beach, shopping, Story Book Gardens, visiting.... Feels like we're on vacation!
One thing that isn't going so well is sleeping the two girls in the same room together. It took a week but I seem to have finally got a little routine going for them to make this work. Zaiah is a little too young but they seem to love it. I miss the easier bedtimes and extra minutes i'm able to steal with them being in seperate rooms. Anyone else have any suggestions, ideas of stories about sleeping the kids in the same room this young???

Darryl is really liking his fellowship so far. The Hand and Upper Limb clinic they have here is amazing apparently. Still some long hours ahead but no studying and he's at least getting to do more of the things he loves best.

Me, I think i'm going to join an ultimate frisbe team next week, get my but back to the gym and hopefully get connected in a church here. I also need to find a sitter for the occasional time D and I would like a night out. Anyone have a suggestion for a church or a baby sitter in London???
