It's been a good week or two-

Sunday July 7, 2013

Good things:

I found my razor.  Good for everyone.

Colds are better. No more coughing all night.

It's been mostly cool.  Sometimes rainy- but never too hard when we needed to walk somewhere.

We went to our first birthday party.  An MK turing 6.  It was really fun!

We found sandals in the clothes closet at our school for Kristin.  The boots we had for her until we moved fell apart.  We also found sneakers for 10 Euros.  Good deal!

We walked a lot and got everywhere we needed to be.  Our 4th of July route turned out to be 7.7 km.  That's a lot of walking!

We bought 4 bikes (have possession of one until Tuesday when a lot of folks leave).

Kristin has the new bike and while she was trying it out, a man in our old building spoke to me about a chapeaux and got his car keys, and voila, he returned Kristin's hat!  What a nice man!

We moved into our new apartment- much bigger, more kitchen stuff, and significantly closer to our school.  Still have beautiful views.

We got to know a lot of folks who are leaving.  So blessed even for a short time to know these people! We were also able to attend graduation and say goodbye.  Wonderful ceremony.




The Wood family came to visit! Found our first geocache with them, and spent the afternoon.  How good it was to catch up a bit and share stories.  Who ever would have thought we would both be in France at the same time? Blessing upon blessing!

Michelle and Darren- good times!

Homesick only once or twice.


I made tacos one night!  No cheddar cheese, but something similar!  Yum!

All the kids like it here.  And there are a few MKs the same age as my kids that are not leaving yet.

I got a conversation partner.  She deserves her own whole blog entry.  She is wonderful and I get to meet with her 2x/ week!

Megan is coming Wednesday!
