back to school

we started school on Sunday! the first day was really good- we felt prepared & not too lost.. which was encouraging, however day 2 was a little different story- I told Chase that I think my brain has already exploded! – ha- we have already “learned” (I use that term loosely) a ton of vocab words & 8 letters! All in all we really excited about this semester & the coming ones. It will be really exciting and a huge blessing to be able to speak Arabic one day…

Here are our first day of school pictures! Makes me think of elementary school when my mom used to take a picture of us the first day of school.. kind of ironic because we are basically entering Kindergarden again- although we probably know less than my sisters’ 3 & 4 year olds that she teaches… here’s to an exciting semester!

We are going to need lots of this:

Here are our books:

There is going to be a lot of this…

sorry the picture is blurry!

      Love the pictures! Thanks for keeping us so updated on your new life…it helps a lot! So glad you kept up the tradition of the “first day of school” pictures! Can’t wait to learn a little bit of Arabic through you. We will have to learn the same words in Arabic that we know in Polish….haha Happy Studying! Love you both! xoxox

      Haha that is hilarious! Don’t feel too discouraged…my kids are 4 & 5…not 3 & 4. So it’s natural for them to know a little more than you! Haha! I am asking G that it get’s easier for you cuz I definitely don’t envy learning Arabic! Has to be difficult! Keep your head up and the coffee flowing! Hope we can find a time to skype soon…there’s no more staying up till 3 for you! Love you and miss you lots and lots!
