Caroline celebrated her seventh birthday this month! Her actual birthday was on October 15th. She turned seven! For a seven year old, she is incredibly well spoken and really really tall for her age!!! We’re not sure where she gets her height since neither one of us is anything more than average (and that might even be stretching it for me!) On her birthday we didn’t do anything too crazy. It was International Week at school (a big even for an international school, as you can imagine….it was pretty cool – food from all over the globe, kids in costume, presentations about different countries in each class every day, etc.!) so I joined her for snacks from all over the world since that was what the second grade was doing that day. She also brought in a treat for her class and opened presents and had cake (strawberry cake with chocolate icing – her idea, but surprisingly, not bad!) that night with us. Thank goodness Aunt Mary (who was going to hand carry all of her presents we had ordered online for her and sent to Mary in Washington) was able to FedEx everything to us and it got there in the nick of time! (We did learn that import taxes are HIGH though!!! Ouch!) Then Dennis and Nancy arrived the next day, so we had more cake and presents, and now next weekend Caroline is taking a friend or two to Build A Bear downtown in Bangkok and then for ice cream, to have her “friend” celebration (too much going on during the month to fit it in so her b.day is lasting about a month instead of a day…lucky her!) Here’s a few shots of our seven year old!
