It is finished

I'm not promising to update this blog during the summer. So, that's it for now.

I wish everyone the best of summers. Safe, safe travels to my friends in Doha. We'll see you again this fall. To those of you moving away so soon, we will miss you!

To all our friends in Texas: WE WILL BE THERE SOON!

Love to all,

Sharon

Arabic?

So I took Arabic this spring. This is a difficult language, on top of learning a whole new alphabet. But I finished the class and got my own "diploma."



It says:

Sharon Dickerson
despite her best efforts
will have to retake Arabic 1
before she can ever go on to Arabic 2.
She's just not quite ready.

Something, something, 2009.


I rock!

One Year Later - School Year, That Is

We survived our first year in Doha. I thought this day would never come. I'm left with just a few last pictures to post.

So Kathryn, much to her dismay, missed 5th grade appreciation at Haude. But she did have a 5th grade Step Up ceremony at ASD, which was simply lovely. I was overcome with emotion as I watched her with all her new friends, all of which she has known for less than a year. It has been simply amazing to watch my children make this move and adjust to their new school so quicky.
