This has been quite a week...I have a wicked cold, so everything is harder to deal with than normal, and we've had some big decisions to deal with: Greta is switching schools. She was accepted to Chestnut Grove, our top choice school, so this is very good news. We found out on Tuesday, so she didn't start at Bishopsford on Wednesday, as we had planned. I contacted the school on Monday, just to make absolutely sure that she wasn't going to get in before we continued down the path of the less optimal school, and what do you know, they said we could attend the Open House the next day and meet with the Admissions Specialist. I was jumping for joy, but Greta had a harder time getting her head around switching at this point. We had a good visit at Chestnut Grove, though, and lots of big talks about why this makes sense, and now she's set to start there on Monday. Unbelievable! But it does seem like one of those instances where good things come to those who wait...so glad that we waited. But the kid needs to get back to school, she's been out since the beginning of June!
Franny is still loving her school, and has a nice group of girlfriends. We just put down the deposit for her class trip; they're going to Normandy, France in June. Yep, they get to go to France for five days as a field trip! Our girls are so lucky to be having these experiences.

That's great news for Greta! We look forward to hearing more about the school. The Portrait Gallery is a favorite of the Dahls! We got stuck in the Tudor section too! Did you see the self portrait of Michael Dahl, a Swedish painter?
Thanks, we'll definitely report back after Greta starts school next week. We met with her new advisor today, and she sorted out her timetable; I think that it will be challenging, but that she's ready for it.
The Portrait Gallery was great, we'll definitely go back there. Sadly, we missed Michael Dahl's painting, so we'll need to look for him next time.
Wonderful! This is such great news, and just as your hard work and patience paid off for moving to London for the year, your patience and diligence in managing Greta's school admissions has turned out just as hoped! Congratulations, my friends! Hooray!
