Nick's Birthday

Nicolas has been obsessed with Star Wars for about the past 10 months and he had never even seen the movie until right before his birthday this month.  All the presents he asked for had to do with Star Wars... light saber, movies, bedding, etc.  He was very excited on his birthday.

We had a BBQ with a couple families for his birthday dinner and the boys played Star Wars the entire time!  It was so fun to watch and listen as they made the sounds of the light sabers clashing even though the toys made the sounds themselves.

Lunch with Ayano

Ayano's mom made them all bears out of towels.

Mikala has 3 best friends here in Quito.  The four of them are in the picture above.  There is Mikala, Hye Lim, Ayano and Amanda.  Amanda just moved back to the states.  Hye Lim is from Korea.  And Ayano moved here from Japan this last February.  Ayano's mom invited the girls and all of us mothers over for lunch at the end of the school year. It was a wonderful time.  I found it quite comical that none of us spoke Spanish incredibly well, but it was the only language that all four of us had in common.  There was a moment that we were talking about the differences between the Japanese and Korean languages and we were discussing this in Spanish, and I thought to myself... How crazy is this? Good times in  Quito!
