With Ella starting preschool this year, it is time for our 4th child to leave home. Busy Lizzy (aka the craft nanny) will be looking after the children for the last time on Friday. Lizzy has been with us for 3 1/2 years. While she has been with us Lizzy has given us a taste of things to come in 15 years time. Lizzy is studying part time at university and Sarah has been helping her with essays and assignments. Lizzy sleeps over occasionally and we worry when she goes out and isn't home by the time we go to sleep at 9:30PM. Hopefully we will be staying up later when the kids are older so they don't have a 9:15 curfew.
The children will all miss Lizzy terribly. They all love:
- the shopping trips to toys r us where they plan their birthday and christmas present lists
- the fantastic chicken schnitzel dinners
- the coffee shop trips for the baby cinos and cookies
- the painting and other craft activities. Whenever the children get a craft present, we say "you can do that with Lizzy"
- the fun times.
- the ironing and the washing
- the clean house
- the chicken schnitzel dinners
- having time off, knowing the kids are being looked after so well.

I will miss my lovely days with Simon, Ella and Ben! Thanks so much for every thing over the past few years. Have enjoyed being part of the family. Might have to pop in every now and then to make a batch of 'Lizzy's special chicken' for every one. Love from the 4th child. :)
