We have been in Budapest now for 3.5 weeks. As you might expect we have had a lot of firsts, but I will share three big ones.
First day of school for Lincoln and Kyle:

As you can see, the boys wear uniforms to school. Kyle's uniform is a white polo shirt, blue sweater and gray pants while, Lincoln's uniform is a white dress shirt, school tie, gray sweater and black pants. They weren't all that excited about the uniforms, honestly, but now that they've done it for a while, I don't think they actually mind all that much. The kids go to the British School of Budapest or BISB. 
As I mentioned earlier, Lincoln has gotten to be friends with a boy who is also from Cypress and who has been here in Budapest about 18 months. The boy's mother also works for Exxon and his dad works for Texas A&M (abroad, obviously) and they will be our neighbors, assuming we get the house we've been trying to negotiate for. (Did I mention we picked a house. Well, we have. We like it and it's in a good location for both school and work. Hopefully everything will go smoothly with the leasing negotiations and we can take occupancy once our things arrive from the US.) Lincoln has also made friends with a couple other boys in his year whom I met briefly. I've been very pleased with how welcoming the school and kids have been thus far.
Kyle made some connections as well. Just down the street from our future home about 1/2 mile is another family with a boy from Kyle's year. This boy's dad also works for Exxon. This family has lived in Dallas for 3 years and they've been here in Hungary for a while, but they're originally from Belgium. The boy invited Kyle to a party over the weekend and the two seem to be hitting it off. Kyle has mentioned several other kids from his class whom he has played floor hockey or soccer with during recess. He seems to be easing into life here okay although I think he and Lincoln are both a little homesick for the comfort of home.
So, now for the second of our list of firsts: David's 1st Day of Preschool: 
David really enjoys his school. He goes Monday, Thursday and Friday from about 8:30 am until 3:30 pm. It's a longer day than he's used to but he has lots to do while he's there. They have art, music, language, math, and then a rotational activity of either Judo, Swim or Skiing. He has 2 teachers for a class of 9 kids. One of the teachers is Hungarian but she also speaks English and the other teacher is American and she speaks a little Hungarian. About 1/2 the kids are Hungarian and the other 1/2 are from an international background. As you can see, no uniforms for David, but next fall, he will begin going to BISB and then the uniforms with start with him, too. He really wants to go with the boys to the "big school" but SuperKids is a good transition for now. I just hope the academics are challenging enough.
Finally, here's the pics from our final 1st: The first week of church.

So this is our ward building. The building is the Stake Center and on the Pest side. For now, it's taking us about 15 minutes to get to church, but once we are in our home, it will be more like 25 minutes. The building is new and up-to-date, but small in comparison to what I'm used to. There is about about 140-150 people to church every week and I'd say about 70% of them are Hungarian. We use headsets for English translation during sacrament meeting and Priesthood/Relief Society, but we split up by language for Sunday School. The ward is still in the midst of figuring out their combined status as the International/Pest Ward.
Also, I've already received a calling. I will serve as the Primary Music Leader, which will be interesting as I don't speak Hungarian or have any musical talents. Another woman, who does speak Hungarian, but not much English, has been called to serve in the same capacity. She and I will work together to do the music for Primary and I hope we can communicate enough together to get it done. I'm sure this will be one of those things people always call a "learning experience". Hmm.
Well, enjoy your week as you drive around on your wide, evenly-spaced, straight, pothole-free roads and think of me while I navigate the gauntlet. *wink*
