Just a couple more pics of all of us, and Tom in his new school uniform! Gorgeous!  He is so excited as he has a man teacher for rest of the grade 2.

Some recent pics

Hey allWe have finally found our way to Manila and have been very busy over the past few days since we arrived settling in and finding our way around.  We have really close friends here and have been spending loads of time up at their house and being shown the ropes of places to go and things to do within our immediate area.
Have spent one and half days house hunting but still nothing yet, being fussy but we will have to live in it and be happy for the next four years!  We may have found something but need to get it within our budget and btw it is still being built, apparently only a month away from being finished but let's wait and see.
Here are a couple of pics of Tom and Steve - Steve's first day at work, and Tom enjoying yet another swim at Jackie and Neil's place.  A cool way of transportation for locals and the adventurous type, not us yet!

We also (Tom, Jackie and I) went off to Brent International School for Tom's testing and interview day.  He went through with flying colours (or should that be colors) that they asked him to come to their school, and welcomed him with open arms.  So he starts school on Thursday morning and at school for two days before they have all of next week off, being Holy Week (Easter) and then back to school April 10th.  We have new school uniform and pe uniform and he looks so gorgeous and grown up...bought a tear, acutally lots to my eyes.  Last 2 pics are Tom chilling out with Whiskey the cat and tuckered out after big school testing and interviews!

MUM AND DAD ARE SO PROUD OF YOU TOM!!!
