School, Day 2

Noah and Liv reported that the second day was even better than the first. Most remarkable - They both reported enjoying the school lunch of lasagna! Other updates: Liv was thrilled to have made 2 new friends - Mia and Opal. Noah and Raffi are requesting a playdate for Friday. Noah wants to join his class on a trip to either Wales or Italy (Noah couldn't remember the exact location of the trip). Both kids brought notes home so that they can sign-up for football (soccer).

As it is now Wednesday afternoon, I can report on the school drop-off this morning. Noah ran off to find his buddies, but managed to give us a quick wave. We saw Noah's teacher, who told us, "He sure has fit in quickly!" Rachelle and I interpreted this to mean that 'Noah is making friends and adjusting well' rather than 'Noah is cutting up and not minding'. He did win the Big Banana award, remember. While we talked to Liv, two girls came up and took her off by the hands and did not drop her hands as they spoke. It was quite heart-warming.

Rachelle and I then headed off to St. Stephen's Church, as the Vicker wanted to meet the new families this morning. We met some other great families, and all of them had heard from their kids about the "new American kids at school." We had fun talking to the parents, having tea, and eating biscuits (cookies). Unfortunately, the Vicker never showed up.

We are off to pick up the kids!
