All in all, I'd say we packed a lot of fun into a short summer. And now we're back in Shanghai. We have started school. Michaela is now a middle schooler with a locker and switching classes. She is also starting violin. Alex is a high school freshman, I can't believe it. I have gone back to teaching French part time at Concordia.
