Yes, he’s here! I once again have a real life husband at last. After a bit of a rushed morning trying to get last minute tidying and laundry done, Paige and I jumped in the car and drove out to Heathrow to meet DrMrNin. Luckily we got there just in time as the display boards were already saying “baggage in hall”. He’d arrived 30 minutes early (even though all the online flight trackers had said he was running to schedule, grr). This was when Paige started to get really excited. Here she is checking the arrivals board, she’d put on her best party dress especially for the occasion
Because he was due out any minute, we rushed around to the arrivals doors and she took up position with her sign (she and her sisters had all made it together this morning).
And then YAY! HE ARRIVED!!!
…and “father” and “daughter” were reunited

And then something VERY exciting happened indeed, my VALENTINE GIRL arrived too. Rather aptly, she’s called an “I Love You It’s True” and had a sweet valentine card on the top of her box….which The Good Doctor then signed *awww*

Paige and her new sister then got to know each other over a cup of coffee and Paige told her all about all the sisters she was going to meet when we all got home. The two of them got on like a house on fire, which was a great relief.

But then, guess what happened??! SOMEONE ELSE ARRIVED!! Who is that Paige? You seem to be waving as if you already know this person???

Why look who it is! It’s Amelie Chocolat, Paige’s French Exchange Student! Hello Amelie! How nice of you to come and visit us.

And once again I realised that I have the best husband in the world, squeeeee
We’re up early in the morning tomorrow and driving off to the Lake District. Apparently there’s no internet access where we’re staying but I might still find a way of popping on here…if I can work out how. But in the meantime, have a good week everyone, and I’ll see you all next weekend with lots of tales of our trip and the obligatory holiday snaps

Nin, your blog makes me so happy! Paige’s sign has got to be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen, and ProfDrMr is just the best. I hope that y’all have an incredibly fabulous holiday away from it all! =)

What fun! Not only are you quite mad but your husband is too!
I think the pictures and stories of your dolls will sustain me life long. There is another person after my own heart who still plays with dollies x
Looking forward to hearing more from Amelie Chocolat. Is she from Aix en Provence?

What a star The Good Professor is!! I love your new girls. I hope that Amelie Chocolat likes her exchange family so much, that she stays with them forever! I am sure that’s exactly what will happen. Let’s just hope that her immigration procedure is less painful than yours!
Hope you have a wonderful time in the Lake District … I know I don’t have to remind you to take oodles of photos!

i am so lost with the dolls.
is this a british thing NIN??? where do these things come from??
Mr. Nins is the cutest ever. He reminds me of Mr. Stella. Only…I’m fairly certain I could ever get Mr. Stella to stand in the middle of an airport holding a doll. THAT is impressive!
SO GLAD YOU TWO ARE TOGETHER!!
