Chaoyang District, Beijing, China

On August 13, 2018 (Happy Birthday Grandpa Tony!), we started school together for the first time.  It felt surreal to be starting school this early in August and only 2 weeks after we arrived.  The other surreal aspect about the experience was all 4 of us going to the same school/work place.  I have worked in schools for 14 years, but never in the same school district as the girls attend.  Matt has worked in non-profit and been around education his whole life, but he has never worked in a school setting.  The chance for all of us to be on the same campus was a big selling point for this adventure.  This was a big day for the Wehner family!  We celebrated with a video call with Grandpa Tony and ice cream at the end of the night.
