This is our third summer or "officially", the second full summer in the US. In 2021 summer, Emily was in RJ Grey's summer school, trying to accommodate the new school. Two girls also explored tennis for the first time in their life. At the end of day, we are happy to see girls land on rowing and squash. Rowing teaches teamwork, and suqash trains consistency and resilience.

2023 summer, Emily finished 6 weeks of the rowing program this summer; Alice attended different summer camps, including animal science, life aquatic, and GPS geography. Now, we are in Stamford, Connecticut, for a Squash Silver tournament at the weekend. I could not imagine two girls picking up squash so quickly, and our family adopted new life with the fattest steps. Of course, the main driving force absolutely comes from Jolie to make all of the things happen.

Summer actually does not count as a rowing season. The summer regattas have more chances to row as single or double boats and have lots of fun. When I sent Emily to Providence, RI, for Sweeps and Sculls Regatta, I also walked through Brown University since it is near Seekonk River. Of course, I heard about Brown University, but I have never been there before. Walking from the riverside to Brown also led me through the streets of Providence. All streets seem like historical areas, and this made me feel like Princeton University, where we visited there and met some friends last summer.

2023 summer, we are still here, and we hope two girls can keep going on their new lives joyfully and confidently in this new soil.
