We finished up school this week! The kids are happy to have the summer off (last year they didn't get much of a break) and so am I. Time to be outside!
We had company arrive in early June, and we expect on Monday that they will move out. Their own apartment, which was sublet while their departure was delayed from Oct to June, should be vacated by Monday. We will definitely miss having our new friends so close.
The company is Mom and four kids, aged 11 to 2, and isn't that just a perfect fit? They are an enthusiastic bunch and are learning English very rapidly. And learning to ride bikes giving swimming a shot (at another friend's pool) and just loving our easy life of luxury living. Toys galore, space to roam, food in the cupboard and food to spare, even their one bedroom apartment, housing all 5, is such a massive place compared to their former home. There is room to play in the house even!
One really rainy day I pulled out movie. A real rarity in our house to happen. The younger ones quickly tired of it and went to play, but the older ones all saw it through.
But of all the things to do, biking is still the all time favorite!
They will be moving into the suburbs where they will be closer to more of the church family, but also closer to transit and shopping, etc so that they can have more freedom to get around. Another big change-and for all of us it will not be easy, for it was so easy to get used to living together.
