The second half of Griffin’s Spanish exchange has begun. He flew off to Madrid on Monday, June 8, and we’ve gotten a few pictures from his first two days. He is staying with Irene, the student who lived with us for two weeks in September. In one of Griffin’s first texts, he wrote, “I already feel my confidence in Spanish improving over the course of an hour. Irene’s little brother is asking me so many questions lol!” Thank goodness for inquisitive kids!
Here are some of the first pictures we’ve received.
Since this blog’s birth in 2009, we’ve never gone longer than a month without posting until now. This spring has been particularly heavy. A combination of external events (ICE activity), family health scares, and unexpected challenges at school pulled my attention away from this online family scrapbook.
The good news, however, is that the health scares are behind us, ICE has mostly departed (with plenty of caveats), and the school year has ended.
I’ve got some additional posts coming soon. (I may backdate some posts so they fit into the sequence properly, but this is my first actual post since February.)
The latest news from Sarah and Andrew.
