You do the hokey pokey/cokey/tokey and you turn yourself about, that’s what it’s all about.
We are making our way through the maze of paperwork for the possible NL move. Apparently, to apply for residence visas, we need birth and marriage certificates less than 6 months old. And they need to be notarized in a particular way. This is trickier than it sounds! Not impossible, but still kind of a [...]
A week of answers…
Roxi did not get into the music school. In a way, I am glad about this because if she had, it would have made it that much harder to leave London if that is what we are supposed to do. Also, after reviewing the school’s curriculum, it seemed like it wouldn’t have been a good [...]
Roxi says…
Look! It’s Roxi reading the Carmen program from last month’s show. This is an accurate reflection of her. Get it? Reflection? Of her? Reading theatre stuff? Heh heh… Ok, never mind. My girl was so appreciative of all of your comments and emails yesterday. Thank you so much for your encouraging messages. It really meant [...]
Roxi’s first big audition
Roxi has an audition this afternoon. It’s in London for a prestigious music university that offers Saturday classes for youths. She’s trying out for the 2009-10 school year*, by the way. We got the letter for this audition about a month ago, the same day we saw Carmen. What timing, right? We get home from [...]
Remembering to breathe
We’ve been having incredible weather lately! I’ve been tempted to put away the sweaters, but A Modern Mother warned me not to quite yet. What an interesting month it has been so far! The weather has been divine these last two-ish weeks. I was telling a friend of mine that it’s like someone came in and [...]
Uh, did I say we were moving into Central London? I meant…
I’ve been sitting on this news for about a week. I was thinking about keeping it quiet until we hear something for sure, but I think it is important to talk about this as it all part of the uncertainty of an Expat’s life! So the big news is my husband’s client in The Netherlands [...]
We’ll be moving house… again!
Another chapter for our Expat book. We just got word that Roxi was accepted into a school in London, so we’ll be packing up our quiet life out here in rural-ish England and moving into Town this summer. We are very excited about the move, especially since this may be our last year in England. [...]
Two years ago today…
We didn’t take that much with us when we moved from Texas. That’s less than half a shipping container. But boy, I wish I had brought more of my art stuff. …we walked through passport control in Gatwick Airport and the immigration officer said: “Welcome Home.” After two years, England definitely feels like home. This [...]
Weekend round-up and 4th photo meme
In the excitement of our first big snowfall and two divine “snow days”, I totally forgot to post my weekend wrap up. And what a weekend it was too! Guess who came from Texas This is Roxi’s traditional BD cake, spice cake with caramel frosting. Woo Hoo! Roxi just finished the last piece yesterday. Hint, [...]
Thinking about University. Already?!
Roxi and I attended an “introduction to High School” meeting at her school last night. I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about high school scheduling, AP versus IB programs, transcripts, and University (in a general sense). Roxi has a STRONG interest in musical theatre, drama, music and performing. I can see her enjoying [...]
