SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2023

 

Yay – we got our US visas on 9 September, so we will fly to San Diego in 5 months time!  Can't wait to see you three again.

You were in your first Poway Parade, marching with the Del Norte Colour Guard and you  went to the school homecoming and to a fall festival.

W were so sorry to hear that you had to have two more teeth out and new braces fitted the same day Em.  I really wished that I could have the pain for you. 

Your Mom went for her first job interview for 20 years at Mahi on 6 October.  Then she had to go for an accounting assessment, and then for an interview with the CEO.  We were all holding thumbs for her over here!  She wrote:

"I’ve been interviewing for a job at Mahi for the past month. I had my first interview 4 weeks ago and did an assessment last week. Yesterday I had my final interview that was meant to be 30 mins and ended up nearly 2 hours.  I have my first full time job in 15 years and 3 weeks and 1 day.  I start on Tuesday, which happens to be Halloween and I will be arriving at work dressed as a Cheshire Cat. Then I have Wednesday off to go to Disneyland with Mark and Em”

Mark went to Las Vegas for 8 days but was back just in time for your birthday.  After fetching Mark from the airport, you all went to watch the rugby at a little pub called the Bunny Chow!  So cool!

Your books arrived just before your birthday so one of them was also your birthday present. Voucher rather than post a present to you.

You showed me where you were going to have new piercings for your birthday earings, just above the the old piercings.
