A Tale of 3 Tintles!

Hello all!

We wanted to announce our happy news - the adventure in London will continue with 3 people instead of 2! Sarah is pregnant. She is 13 weeks and so far all of the ultrasounds and blood work have been excellent and the baby seems to be quite healthy and happy. She is due June 3, 2010 and will be delivering in London. Sadly, the child does not qualify for dual citizenship but they will have visa privileges so supposedly they can come work or live in the UK with less red tape to go through. At the very least being born in London should help them win a game or 2 or "2 truths and a lie." We truly want the best for our child :o)

So, we are very excited and so happy to share the news with all of you! Unfortunately we have no idea how to change the name on our blog so it will continue to be taleof2tintles.blogspot.com but please keep T3 in your prayers.

Love,
Sarah and Shane

Life in London

Hi everyone,

Sorry we haven't written in awhile. Things have been busy but nothing too noteworthy to report. Of note, however, is that Sarah got a job! Yes, it only took 8 weeks for her license to be approved but the following day she had a job! She is working 3 days a week at a pediatric outpatient facility of a NHS hospital just outside of London. Her commute is 90 minutes each way (yikes!) which makes her very happy to be only working 3 days a week :o)

Shane has been working hard and traveling a little. His most recent business trips took him to Amsterdam and Norway. He, of course, forgot the camera on both trips but was able to take in the sights although he has nothing to prove it.

Last Saturday we hopped in the car (which Shane is now very adept at driving) and headed for Windsor castle. It is about 20 miles outside of London and a pretty easy drive. Windsor castle has been the home of the royal families of England for 900 years! It is quite impressive and looks much more "castle-like" than Buckingham. The current Queen of England has declared Windsor her official residence. Unfortunately she was not in last weekend, I guess she hadn't heard that we would be visiting :o)

Anyway, that is all for now. We are hoping to hit up a few more English cities in the upcoming weeks and we will definitely keep you all posted. Hope everyone is doing well!

Love, Sarah and Shane
