Trip to Six Flag's

Osku recently went on a trip to Six Flags: United Kingdom, he had an amazing time. Rode so many roller coasters (his favorite was Superman's Ultimate Flight) and saw animals like: giraffes, lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys and even a dolphin show! It was so hot he even had to wear some sunscreen. Unfortunately, the photos from his trip were got lost at the park and couldn't be recovered from lost and found. But he really enjoyed himself under the warm california sun!

The First Christmas!

The coming Christmas it will be time for both Kali and Osku to return to home. Today Kali found this very old 32 year old picture that is so said the first picture ever taken of Osku. In the same photograph you see art teacher Riikka spending her first Christmas.

All around we go and Kali wanted to take a picture of Riikka's growing stomach! Maybe when Osku returns to Finland he will get a chance to know the new little person still hiding in the stomach - Kali only thinks Riikka has been eating just too much. Well, but truly Riikka is now off for maternity leave, but our school's art teacher Johanna has nice ideas for art work which we will send for you in California for Christmas!

Näytin Kalille vanhoja valokuvia ja löysimme samalla kaikkien aikojen ensimmäisen valokuvan Oskusta. Se on otettu kuvisope Riikan ensimmäisenä jouluna. Kali myös vaatimalla vaati, että kuva Riikan mahasta laitetaan blogiin-kun Osku palaa Suomeen täällä odottaa uusi tuttavuus. Riikka lähtee äitiyslomalle, mutta kuvisope Johanna on luvannut keksiä vielä kivoja juttuja Kalin ja oppilaiden päänmenoksi ennen joulua!

Home Sweet Home

Memories-last spring!

Here are some pictures from last spring. Kali really thinks the nature around Korso school is beautiful in all seasons!
