Last Thursday went super well :o) She went in SOOoooo happily, sat down with the kids straight away and didn't even turn to say goodbye to Lauren and I!!!! Please be very proud of us cos we didn't cry - and we didn't linger watching her for hours either!!
Caitlin asked to pop out of class to visit her and her teacher said that was ok so Izzy was delighted to get a visit from her big sister! On Friday Izzy even got a certificate for settling in well :o) AND.... a whole bunch of homework! So young! Izzy had to cut out an elephant and practise her letter of the week! We also had to fill in an "all about me" questionnaire and Izzy drew pictures of her family, things she liked to do (playing out) what makes her happy (food!!!!) and what makes her sad (falling over!). Lauren helped her with her homework on Monday morning! Here's some pics of Izzy on her first day of school and also doing her homework.
Other big news this week - I have a new car!!!! YAY!! I traded in my big old american tank (PT cruiser) and got a brand new yellow mini convertible! Its SOOOOOOOO cute!!! I love it! So fab to drive and just adorable to look at! I'm going to get Lauren some practise driving manual (standard for those of you across the pond!!) cos she's really going to need to perfect that at some point and the Mini is a beautiful car to learn in cos the gears and clutch are so nice! Anyway, here is the car!!
Last night, I drove Lauren to Brent's house with Caitlin in tow and it was a beautiful clear evening - but rapidly got chilly! However, I have a soft top and I'm gonna use it!! ;o) So, we drove all the way there and back with the top down, jumpers on and the heater blowing onto our legs and bodies!! hahahahahhaa!!!! It was GREAT! Nick loves it too :o)
Nick was in Spain last week and had a really successful time. He's in London tonight but then is home til we go to the Seychelles which is just getting SO close now - aaggghhhh - I'm so excited and I can hardly bear to wait!! Like a 4 year old on Christmas Eve!! Joy and excitement currently abound in the Joyce household - we really do feel so blessed right now and I'm thankful for all the love in the house, the fun and the excitement with so many new things arriving and on the horizon for all of us - including Lauren of course!
I'm off to fetch the girls from school in the new mini ;o)
love to all
Nikki xoxoxoxoxox
