Fab!

Adam woke me up at 6 am today to ask "can we go to school now"? Today was his visit to Falk school. He spent the morning there with the 6 year old class and had a blast. Sophia visited a nursery school and has been offered a place to start in September. She was bumped to the top of the waiting list because, as the head-teacher said, we'd had a rough ride getting here and deserved a break. I felt a bit guilty at this development. I feel incredibly lucky just being here and having these opportunities despite all the visa hassle.

Shaz and I actually went on a date tonight. "Uncle Rob" was left in charge and we disappeared into Shadyside for dinner and a drink. Very civilized. The neighborhood is incredibly multi-cultural. It is a hot night and the city feels very cosmopolitan. We followed dinner at the Elbow Room with coffee and pud on Walnut St in Shadyside. Luvverly!!!
