How is this possible? Our little Anna.... College du Leman, the girl's school for three years,  put on a lovely weekend of celebration that started with a party for the kids on school grounds with live music, food, and room to run and play. The next day, we all bused into Geneva for a nicely organized ceremony of the five classes of fith graders. All teachers and administrators were there. The speeches were inspiring, and our hands were soar and red from so much clapping. Afterwards, we celebrated with Yuval's family at our favorite Crans Restaurant- Cafe de la Union! 

End of the Year Celebration at Oakhill

This is the whole school- really! 

Singing the famous Oakhill song

With only four students in a class, everyone was able to shine, and the teachers filled the board with compliments!

Sisters rolling through the halls

The most lovely teacher we have ever had the pleasure to know: Ms. Wadell 

Mr. Booth made math fun for Kate for the first time in her life!! 

What are the chances that the only English speaking school for dyslexic children in Switzerland would be in our backyard? That's how we roll! And how blessed we were to have found the most wonderful and supportive environment for Kate! It was a lovely end-of-the-year ceremony, and difficult because we knew we wouldn't be able to come back with our move back to the US. This school will forever have a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Oakhill!!! 

Paddle Boats for Camilla's Birthday

Always a favorite activity with the family when the weather warms in spring, we are out there enjoying the sun, the view, and the water. Our third daughter, Camilla loves it too, so this year we went out for the first time in honor of her 12th birthday, June 2nd. Nyon in the background... What a beautiful day!!
