It has been a week of goodbyes, and one of them was completed today at Sophie's preschool. We stopped on the way there to get a cake for 35 little squirts and of course a milk-tea for the boys. Peter and Jack posed for me in front of the milk-tea store.
We made it to the school, and Sue, Peter and Jack took their place of honor with Sophie, who was ready to hand out cake to all of the children. 
Here's one of Sophie's teacher who's a real joy. 
A view of the cake, before it was devoured. With 35 kids in the class, and 4 teachers, not a scrap was left! 
Peter and Jack were LESS THAN THRILLED to be at a 3-year-old goodbye party, but we made them go anyway. This is one of those "Smile or I'll smack you" pictures :) 
Sophie served cake to all of her classmates. 
Finally, Sophie got to enjoy her own. Yum! 
Here are Peter, Jack and Sue with all the 2 teachers and 2 helpers for the classroom. Sophie will miss them! So will we! 
Sophie has had such a great year at this kindergarten. The teachers have been so lovely and patient with ALL OF US and our limited ability to communicate. They have also taught Sophie a lot of Chinese, and now she plays in Chinese as well as English. Sophie will miss all of her Chinese chums as well.

Hello,
I came across your blog a few months ago...really enjoyed it. We are probably going to move to China for 2 years with our 3 children. We have 2 boys and a girls also. :) And, our daughter is from China too. I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have for us. We think it will happen in about 2 years when our kids will be 9,7,5.
