Successful mission

Playing tug of war with Lewis


Amie arrives at the airport, with her suitcase packed. She spent the whole morning walking around with it on her back, even though it was really heavy.. she was so excited to be using it.

We're back from our trip to the UK, and have managed to find a house that we both really liked, in the little market town of Wokingham. We had a look in London in Richmond, and in Windsor, Ascott and a place called Sunningdale... but Workingham seemed to fit our needs best, although it'll be a 50 minute commute for Rich (some peace and quiet and time to read his books I think). Richard's friends Vicky and John bravely put us up during our trip, and I was amazed at how good the kids were. Our friend Caroline, from our old days in Holland who's parents live in Workingham was kind enough to meet up and show us around. It was lovely for Amie to meet Lewis again, they hadn't seen each other for 2 years, but still played like old friends. And I finally got to meet Aidan, Lewis' little brother, who's only a few months younger than Noah. Nana and Pa drove down to look after the children on Friday and Saturday, and it was such a relief to be able to view houses without them both running around and complaining of feeling sick in the car. But in the end we picked the 3rd house we saw on the first day, (I think we viewed 15) so we could have saved ourselves a lot of stress. Just 6 weeks left in Wedel!!!! Yah :)




Higher, Higher

In other news, Amie is home this week from Kindergarten till Thursday because they phoned this morning to say that there was an outbreak of measles. Amie doesn't have 2 vaccinations against it, so she can't go in till Thursday....... will try to find things to do with them both, since I've also no German class to go to either.
