An Awesome Week

Alina started having ballet classes last week and she's really happy about that since she has wanted to learn ballet for quite a while now. 

This isn't a good pic, but it's all I have for now. She's getting ready to go to class.

Right, so my two oldest sisters arrived on Wednesday, and on Thursday we all went over to my grandparents' place to pay them a visit. 

Ange took pics, but I haven't been able to get them yet so I'll just post the few that I have of our happy froggie family. 



Then on Friday one of my best childhood friends arrived for a short visit and we stayed up till reeeeeal late blabbing away. Naturally, since we hadn't seen each other in almost 8 years.

Saturday we had an English Immersion day. Here's most of my family interacting with the participants:

Friends forever!

After the meeting we hung around and chatted whilst having some yummy drinks (thanks Love, for making them!) until it was time for Angie to get the bus back to Rio. 

I miss you already ... waaaaaaaa!!
