The 2011-2012 school year has finally come to an end. It was a memorable one to say the least. Today was bittersweet. The kids are so excited about the summer ahead, but it was really sad too. Thomas has two very good friends who are moving to Prague and China. One of Allison's closest friends is moving back to US. Such is the life of an expat kid. Your friends become your family and too quickly you are forced to say goodbye. There were tears shed...mostly by the parents. And, then the buses all pulled away and honked their horns as they left the school. It was emotional and just verified how much we love it here and how blessed we are by the friends we have made.

| Here are Allison and Thomas in Morton, Illinois starting 3rd grade and 5th grade back in August of 2011. |
 |
| And, ending their year at the International School of Brussels in Belgium. I now have a 4th grader and 6th grader! Wow! Not many smiles from Thomas. He said he doesn't like summer and just wants to stay at school. |
 |
| I'm happy to report that these two had phenomenal report cards, and I am looking forward to a fun-filled summer with activities around Brussels, Tim, Cheryl, and Brandon visiting us in July, and a big trip back to the US! Until next time, Wendy |
