School's out...hello summer!

The boys had a great school year in both Hawthrorn School in Salem, IL and ACS in Amman. They both learned a lot, made nice friends, and had fun.

First day at Hawthorn Elementary. Caleb had Mrs. Richardson for first grade, and Benjamin had Mrs. Marcum for Kindergarten.

Last day at ACS Amman. Caleb had Mrs. Purdy for first grade, and Benjamin had Mrs. Zeina for Kindergarten. Goodbye Kindergarten and First Grade....Hello First and Second Grade!

The boys enjoyed time with friends and a week of summer camp before we headed back to the States for a few weeks. This is their good friend JJ, who departed Jordan this summer. He and Caleb were in class together the past 2 years, and they became good buddies. We will miss his family and look forward to seeing them again one day in VA.

Caleb's other good friend in class this year was a sweet girl named Rosalie. Caleb, JJ, and Rosalie were the three amigos and were always together. She also departed Jordan for the US, and we know we will see her again too. 

Her last few days in town, they saw each other a few times for swimming play dates.

Benjamin makes friends with the lifeguards at the Embassy. I think he really wanted to blow his whistle :).

New summer hair cuts...he wanted to get his hair cut short like daddy!

Caleb got a trim, he still likes it a little longer.

Here we come, summer!
