A Quick Update

Last night we attending back to school night.  It went ok, but it was quite overwhelming.

  

First we found Athan's room and teacher and put things away, then we moved on to find the other three kids' rooms.  The building isn't that big, so Obi and Gavin were able to find them fairly easily.  Cora's schedule needs to be changed quite a bit, so she didn't get to find really anything but her locker.  This afternoon we have our family meeting at the school, and then we should be technically enrolled.  Cora hasn't been able to practice during soccer practice until she is enrolled.  She did watch Wednesday night, and the first game is next Wednesday.  Hopefully she is able to fit right in with the team.  They were glad to have another defender!

Obi's bed arrived today, for he needed an upgrade to a longer bed.  We just decided to worry about that until we got out here.  

Tuesday Comcast comes to get us set up with all of that.  There are Xfinity hotspots out here, but the connection isn't that great.  We're finding our cell phones go through power quick.  Not sure if it's a tower thing, or just the amount of trees.

Tonight Gavin is trying out for the Salisbury Swim Team, hopefully they will have a spot for him!

I am now able to drive to Walmart and where the other major stores are without using Google Maps.  I can almost make it to the school without it as well.  This is an accomplishment for sure!  Athan needs brown paper sacks to cover his books, so I must venture out to find a real grocery store.  I keep my phone well charged for such challenges.

Just incase you were wondering about the storm, we are in a Tropical Storm Warning.
