The End of Things

Government schools and activities here usually run until the end of June.  Thankfully, the schools that my kids went to, ended in May, but dance and soccer continued through Ramadan and into the heat of summer.

The dance studio had end-of-year presentations for each class.  The class that Kylie and Karis taught took place at the exact time that Keira was also in class, so we didn't get to see Kylie and Karis' kids perform.

Here is Keira with Mrs. Natalia.  She is the wonder woman of the dance studio.  She teaches little girls' ballet classes, pilates, yoga, aerial yoga, and ballet pro (Kylie and Karis' class).

Her husband had trouble finding work here, so he had to leave.  Pray for this family as they are currently separated.  We really love having Mrs. Natalia here, but we also know she needs to do what is best for her family.  

When Keira was finished, I went upstairs to the older girls' class where they were posing for all the mothers.  You can see as the summer wears on that fewer and fewer come.  Their class usually had 11-13 girls attending.

I didn't get a picture of Caleb's last soccer practice, but this a handsome snapshot of him and his milkshake on his last day of school :)

Ballet Pro also did an open class performance, but our family was the only one who attended.  Four of the ladies are from out of the country with no family here, and the others say they would rather not invite anyone.
