Can't believe another school year is gone. After a rough start for Dominic it ended with him marching on the bus happy as can be, making some good friends, and starting to pick up some Chinese. It's amazing how fast they learn. Jack has really started to click with his Chinese language and can now act as translator for us without really thinking about it. He's losing a lot of his good friends this year due to moves to India, Jakarta and one to a different school. Luc also had a great year and surprises us with his Chinese since he only gets an hour a day. That hour was spent in almost a private lesson though because it was only the teacher and his friend, Viktor in the class, so that's probably why he really picked up a lot more this year. He also spent two nights a week being ferried by our driver to and from baseball and I think they did a lot of chatting in Chinese. Unfortunately, Luc's best friend Viktor moved back to Sweden and we were sad to see him go, but he will have another good buddy, Makar in his class next year and he is from Russia - how cool is that? Luc's three best friends here have been from Finland, Sweden and now Russia....a little different from how we were raised, huh? We head to Colorado in two weeks and the boys CAN. NOT. WAIT. After that we'll have a 5th grader, 3rd grader and kindergartner. Time is going too darn fast.
