We are about 85% settled into our new house. We moved in on Monday (the first day of the new term at work), and all of our belongings are here. Most of them are unpacked, too! Each room is finding its new purpose in life, with a dash of fresh paint to aid in the transition. There are still a number of little things that can be done to improve the house, but it's great as it is! And best of all, I can play piano as loudly as I want!
Our evening temperatures have been cool for the past week, so we've made use our fireplace a few times already. During the day, when it's in the 70s or 80s, we get a great breeze going through the house by opening all the windows in the sunroom and kitchen/breakfast area.
Work is going well. I'm teaching level 4 this term, which means afternoon classes, so I get to sleep in! I have 26 students again this term, and 11 of them are students I've had before. It's fun seeing familiar faces. And my student evaluations for the last term were high enough that I'm fairly certain that the students are happy to see me again, too. :)
I plan to add some pictures of the house to the next post, so stay tuned!

Hello. This is your brother. Looking forward to your next post which, rumour has it, will contain pictures of the new house.
Hi Honey,
Got the airline reservations to come visit you guys and see said house. (and hear you loudly play that piano) :-)
I was going to lose a few pounds before coming to visit - until I discovered a dark chocolate Cadbury bar in the grocery store this evening. I don't think it's just the chocolate, but the emotional connection remembering the great time I had with you in England and the Cadbury dispensing machines in the Underground stations! Can't wait til March! See you in a week and a half.
