On Your Mark...

Christmas vacation has been a great time to see friends for a few last times before we leave for Scotland. The kids have had lots of friends over to the house for playdates and sleepovers, and have many, many more planned for the week ahead!

Today we went sledding at the Colgate hill, to take advantage of the snow while we can, since there's not much snow in St. Andrews!

Sixty Days To Liftoff

Things are slowly falling into place for the upcoming trip! The passports for the kids arrived in the mail a few weeks ago, our plane tickets are all set, and we rented a car. The kids are enrolled at Greyfriars Primary, where John will be in P3, and Emma in P6. David is negotiating some office space at the school, where, according to the website, "Philosophy is mainly accommodated in Edgecliffe Hall, a large detached house in the Scottish Baronial style, situated on a small cliff with views across St Andrews Bay to the eastern Grampian mountains." Rough, right? See photo to left as evidence.
