Tommy has a nice little note from the 5th grade on his door, saying happy teacher appreciation week. The other side says....Thank You Mr Farrell, You actually teach us something. You are a great computer teacher! Nice to hear Tommy is ACTUALLY making kids learn, I guess that was the point of travelling half way across the world!!

We made it!!!
We thought you should know that we have survived a few days with Daddy away (he will write about it when he has unpacked - he is pretty busy and tired so that might take a couple of days!!).
It might not sound like a big deal, but this was an achievement for lots of reasons, a few of which are....
1. Usually Nanny comes to stay and Helen is just around the corner if Daddy needs to go anywhere, but it was a bit far to expect them to travel so we braved it alone
2. We had *** tantrums (we would like to give you an accurate number here but lost count) which was not pretty but our friends are still speaking to us
3. Mummy managed to put Tom on the toilet each night (involving climbing up to the top bunk and lifting him down and the more challenging task of returning him to the top bunk afterwards!)
We are very glad Daddy is home. And we are glad we have nice friends who had us play with them while Mummy did the boring things like the washing, friends who came and played with us and bigger friends who sat with us while Mummy got food from the dining room and who came out for a walk with us to find Fan Ice.

Blackout! Peace and Quiet!
Last Monday we had a blackout, one of the main generators cut out and some of the ship was plunged into darkness. We lost power in our cabin but didn't realise except that the telephone made a stange noise and everything seemed strangely nice and quiet, at least until Sam rushed in to find his torch as deck 4 was pitch black in places!! Anyone that missed it on Monday got to experience it yesterday as they turned it off again to try and work out what had caused it in the first place. It is strange how much noise you get used to - engines, people, ice machines outside your door, noisy vents, a/c, vacuum sinks and toilets but it was very, very nice to have a minute where all seemed quiet.

Happy American Mothers Day!!
We hope anyone celebrating Mothers Day today is having a lovely day. Joshua had made a craft at nursery with MOM in big letters that was stuck to our door this morning!!! Sorry Mums back home we didn't send another card to mark the occasion but we are thinking of you today and every day!
