For the first time in 2010 we have seen snow dripping off roofs! We had a high of 39 degrees today. That's the good news. The bad news is that we are supposed to get up to 6" of new snow tonight. From all the Facebook posts of our friends back home, we know we are not alone when we say that we are so done with winter!
The kids did not have school this past Monday. All the schools here had a semester break for this week. Schools here start later and go through June. So we have been getting lots of school work done this week. We also are caught up on American Idol! Myles only had to go into the university for a few hours on a couple of days this week. Next week the kids will go to the international school on Monday and Myles will start the second semester classes.
There is another Fulbright family, the Keys, that we met through this experience. They were only here in Poland for one semester.
So they are packing up and heading home to Illinois next week. This Fulbright experience with a family is very unique, and we have formed a strong bond with them.
We spent time with them in Krakow and we spent a lot of time with them in Budapest during the Christmas/New Year holidays.
We wish them safe travels and we're only a little jealous that they are heading home!
OH Lisa! Could my boys look any funnier?! :) I can't believe tonight is our last night in Kielce! We're headed to Krakow tomorrow & then HOME on Wed! It has been a wild ride w the kids, you are so right. I hope that your spring & summer here are great. (we were excited about the highs this week, too. come on, warm weather!) And thank you so much for being such great friends. I wish we had been closer together, we always had a wonderful time w y'all. We're looking forward to seeing you again. xoxo
