Settling into Life in NC

Well we have been getting adjusted to NC. It's been Hot here and record breaking at that from what everyone is saying. It isn't as bad as I thought, just miss the delta night breezes. The humidity is not as wet as I thought so if this is as worst as it gets I think I will be fine. The first week we have been getting to know the area running back and forth to the stores when we realize we don't have certain items for cooking. Morgan is excited we have two malls very close and we can get to most everything without driving the highways. We had to get the school supplies so Zach is planning out his decoration of photos of California friends to put inside his locker then Morgan is doing the same with her binder. I enrolled the kids into school this week and looks like they should be fine but I'm sure a huge culture shock on the environment it is very traditional and all about academics not so much about field trips. Morgan will attend Torrence Creek Elementary and Zachary is going to Bradley Middle School. Torrance Creek has five fifth grade classes. Zach liked the gym (larger than El Caminos and he liked the seperate cafeteria) it's all about food and sports can you tell. He will be in all the Honors classes and has band as an elective and modern dance. Has put in an interest for a few clubs not yet knowing which one he will get. Tryouts for tackle football at the school begin after school starts I did enroll him in a Basketball and Morgan in Volleyball and Soccer. Bradley is the last one to find a school but I may have found one today. Mark center had it's Grand Opening and everything went beautifully and not a glich! It was also his birthday yesterday so we celebrated as a family. All is well in NC but this time change we aren't sure about with trying to keep in touch with friends and family. The kids are loving the webcam and instant messaging. Love to all of you. Yvonne
