We moved to Barcelona from Ontario, Canada in August of 2013. Living and traveling in Spain with 4 kids is not without its challenges, but well worth the extra effort. This blog is a record of the neat things we have seen and done here. I hope that it can also be a resource to other families living or traveling through Spain and Europe.
This year, it was difficult finding support for the Japan table at the ASB International Day. It seemed like all the people that had helped with the Japan table in years past, were helping with other tables or were out of town. Fortunately I was able to get help from Midori and her husband Jaume. They went above and beyond expectations by preparing and cooking 20Kg of yakitori in the scorching hot sun. It was a big hit, much better than the curry rice we served for the past two years.
At the beginning of the year, Ciara was very excited to try-out for the cheerleading squad at ASB. She needed no encouragement whatsoever. Her coach has told me that she really appreciates Ciara on the team because she works hard and is always enthusiastic. Ciara even enjoys performing in front of large groups. Cheerleading has definitely helped her gain confidence.
Ciara has also continued with her judo and participated in her first competitive tournament in November, 2015. Recently (on March 5th, 2016) she received her orange belt. We are so glad that Ciara is taking the initiative to learn new skills and participate in group activities.
Ciara performing at the middle-school assembly in October, 2015. It's hard to see, but she starts in the middle, she is the one being lifted up, and then she moves to the left side.
