Recap




So its been a while-nothing new except move details overwhelming me ( a bit dramatic) but seriously would like to wake up with the move details done. (yes- on one footstool I found 5 different moving company stickers)
I thought I was so organized and it seems that giving notice to early for house services just means you have to call 5 days before the move again. (so really no point in doing the initial setup)

Had a great trip to Cyprus- full of family, sun, sea, and Greek food. We had our moments: when you eat dinner at 9pm and expect kids to stay up that late and then function in a civilized manner- all does not go well. ( I think one dinner CJ played his leapster for 2 hours straight). Little man has lost his 2 front teeth and thinking the more he loses the more pocket $ he gains. We created a little stir at the school when CJ presented his show n tell project- A GIANT "Go USA beat England" world cup poster. It seems that by the end of the presentation- 5 kids decided to cheer for USA instead of England. Yes- we are looking for an upset. I'm headed to a World Cup party tomorrow night and I would love the underdogs to steal the show.

Baby girl had her dance recital last weekend. The teacher was a little over zealous and required the 4 year olds to have a dress rehearsal that lasted 4 hours (the song they "danced" to was 1 1/2 min long the cute "Enchanted song - "Whistle while u work"). In typical British fashion- parents aren't allowed to stay for the rehearsal and were told to collect child at the stage door 4 hours later. (just weird) Show was cute- the baby ballerinas stared at the audience and moved about 1/2 way thru the number. Chris and I got a little teary eyed that our baby was old enough to be in a recital. Have I mentioned time is moving at warp speed. It hit us- savor these moments because they go by QUICK.

Have entered the strange parallel universe of Limbo stage ( working on the move but still in England)- am trying to spend as much time with our friends here. Weird feeling to think in some cases- we are going to be an 18 hour plane ride away ( Cape Town, SA is not close). Speaking of parallel universes -loved the Fringe season 2 finale. It rocked- full of "alias" like moments.
