First Day of School!

14 August 2014-

We arrived back in Beijing YESTERDAY (13 August) and TODAY (14 August) the girls are back in school (actually, they missed the first day of school).

This is a year of BIG changes.  

Annika is in Grade 6.  That means she's now in secondary school…and in the Han Building.  She's now with the Big Kids!  Yikes!  Things are dramatically different between grades 5 and 6.  (for one thing, the secondary school isn't the best at keeping the parents informed.  Grrrrr….)  It's a good thing Annika appears to be ready for this big change.

Ava is in grade 3.  The same grade Annika was in when we moved to China!  Wow.  Time is flying by too quickly.  She's moved up to the second floor of the primary school building.  (with the Small Big Kids)

They look pretty darn chipper for having gotten up at …what??? 2:00am?  I hope they last the entire day!  Ready for the big day wearing their PE uniforms and new backpacks.
