Awards at school and visit with family!

On Friday the boys received awards at school for being strategic thinkers!  Matt was able to attend and got these videos!

And photos!

We are proud of all their hard work!  It continues to amaze us that not only are they doing all the work a normal sixth grader is doing but they are also doing another language at the same time.  Not easy but so much easier to learn now than when they are older!

And today we visited with my cousin who was in town with her two kids.  It was fun to see how her daughter reminds me so much of Anna as a kid and how sweet all three of them are with her baby brother.  This is a good reminder of how big they have gotten in a few years!  (Yes, the sun was bright and caused some closed eyes.  We had another week of up and down temperatures with some drizzle yesterday.)

Olivier had a lot of fun on the merry go round with her sweet kiddo!  Just look at that grin on both of them.  Makes a mom's heart melt!
