730

Hard to believe, but we arrived here in Paris two years ago today. 730 days seems like a WHOLE lot, one big number, but the years have gone really quickly in many ways. The boys were barely 4 & 7, and didn't speak a lick of french. (We adults, of course, were 24 when we moved here, and oddly are only 25 now!) We just got their most recent report cards, which confirmed our suspicion that they're becoming french. If not those, here's evidence from Calvin's "spectacle de mime" (mime/dance show) yesterday.




That's his buddy Logan in the background. I took some video footage of the kids, and it's really cute (to family) and hilarious (to everybody, I think). In particular, the segment where they paired up boy-girl and "waltzed" was priceless. I'm going to assemble the clips into a movie with Carter's help, but he has a friend over now and sports this afternoon, so it'll probably be later in the week before it's done. The kids start their two-week winter break Saturday so we'll definitely have time then!

We're going to Avignon, in southern France, for the second half of that break. We'll leave Sunday 2 March and return on Saturday the 8th. The following week, Betsy has a big meeting, and Cathy comes to visit, before I head to Brussels to catch up with Gary that following weekend. But we'll post before then.

Thanks for keeping us company, virtually and in-person, over the first two years of our adventure!
