By the cutest Finnish society ladies. Our adoption is part of the Finnish Family Program, which pairs up international students with local Finns. We’re not entirely sure what plans they have in mind for us, because they tend to start sentences in English and end them in Finnish, but given that tonight’s Program get-together was enlivened by them breaking out into several verses of ancient Finnish song, they should be pretty entertaining. Both of our Finnish mothers are retired teachers, and they’ve banded together with a couple other cute old ladies who are part of the Jyväskylän American Society to take care of us.
Also of note: at the gathering tonight, Elizabeth tried a piece of quiche, only to later find out that it contained reindeer.(She liked it!)
