our first ever "last day of school"

June 3, 2010 - this day was bittersweet for me for some reason. I was just moved by how they'd grown and matured in just a few short months. Going from crying every day to being excited to go to school "to learn to speak Spanish, like Dora" - it all just seemed to be happening so fast! And I guess it does. They know their numbers and colors in both English and Spanish. Often if I ask them a question in Spanish, they will answer in English. Charis sings songs in Spanish quite a bit; I don't even know what she is saying lots of times!

House Update

By the end of May, we were really starting to see things coming together. There was paint on the walls and much of the tile work etc was done. What an exciting time. Chris would go by the house every day - morning and night. It was scary but wonderful. (Our shower on the left, kids shower on the right)

End of year school show

May 27, 2010 - the kids had their end of the year school show. What an event! They are in the Spanish immersion school so all of the little routines were in Spanish. It was really well done and oh-so-cute!! Well, with us and all the grandparents in attendance, we were ready to watch our little shining stars. They were in the most adorable outfits but within about 30 seconds of being in front of the crowd, both children were crying "momma, momma" the whole time. Cute all the same, but maybe we will have better luck at the Christmas show next year!
