a welcome to Canada!



Our friend Sonia has been having exchange students come live with her for many years now! They arrive in August and leave in July after the school year. They come to Quebec to learn french. Basically they speak the language of their country, and english, and they go to a regular french high school out here for pure immersion!! How incredible!



This school year, Sonia has a young student named Ingvild from Norway. When Sonia went to pick her up at the airport, Natalie and I snuck out to her house in the country and decorated her front porch with a welcome home sign!



The kids were extremely happy to be part of this surprise! We told them that this girl would probably feel very welcomed if they participated in a group picture!! (anything to get the kids to pose together!!)
