My babies are gone!!

The first day of school! Wow!! Marisa has been beside herself with excitement waiting for her first day of Kindergarten. It was really quite cute. Lucas did not even mind putting on a long sleeve dress shirt, tie and vest in the heat! (This is their "dress uniform" for special occasions. For regular days, they have shorts and polo shirts.) We weren't sure about traffic this morning so we left with lots of time and got to school 35 minutes early! :-) We will have fun with teacher names this year. Lucas' teacher's name is Ms Kang and Marisa's teachers name is Ms Chang!! I'm very excited about the school year and I'm thankful to God that the transition to a new school has been relatively painless. I'm very excited about the 7 hours of free time I will have each day. But I know it will get filled up quickly! So far I have 4 Spanish classes I"m teaching, so I"m looking forward to building that up and hopefully providing a small amount of money for "extras" - like a vacation to see the great wall of China or the pyramids or the Taj Mahal. Unfortunately Victor wants to buy groceries with my money. Can you believe it??
And here are Lucas and Marisa waiting to go into the chapel for opening ceremonies. They were greeted by the Headmaster who welcomed each one by name, and they were to respond "Good Morning Mrs Kim" (and she made a point of making sure each child looked her in the eye as they addressed her. I love it! I'll let the school teach my children all their manners and I can sit around and eat bon bons all day.)

I'm so glad that you guys at at Cambridge! You are going to love it. :-D

And geez Louise Victor, get your priorities straight. Why buy groceries when you can travel the globe? ;-)
