McLaw #4

Romany is #4 - aged 6, very cute (and knows it)
Reading well, lisping still
Loves toys and clothes, reading, her schools pet mice
Likes Ruby, Sophie, Meg, Sarah, Rhianna, Rachel, Aaron (and many others)
Dislikes eating, being alone
No idea what she is in for (knows she is going round the world)

McLaw#3 - Ciaran; recently 11, growing very fast and very tall

Hates vaccinations, spicy foods (unfortunate), being bored, clothes shopping,

Refuses to learn Spanish (may have no choice)

Irritated that we visited many famous places with him when he was too small to remember

Likes his friends, lego, reading, tv, computer games involving world domination and smashing stuff

Beginnings

The first major sign of progress after months of learning spanish, planning itineraries and saving money is being forced out of one's own house (rented to someone else for 6 months)
