Thank You, Carrie!

We miss you so much already! Thank you for helping us this week. We love you!

who would have thought...?

The boy who will barely dress up for Sunday services and put on a pair of slacks and buttoned up shirt, let alone wear a tie, the one who lives for warmer days and shorts, the same really likes his new suit. A pen and little pad of paper have already been placed in the inside pocket! We are flabergasted! Thank you Amy for introducing such a fun novelty in our son's wardrobe!

Vive la France!

This weekend marked an important event in France and I'll be the first to say, "Vive le France!" Now, I'm not terribly educated in the political currents of France, nor do I know how Chip or Marie-Laure feel about Sarkozy, the newly elected French president, but at risk, I will say that he sounds like a decent fellow. Unfortunately, riots have plagued the election with over 730 cars burned at the last count. Anyway, he claims to be a friend to the U.S., and still got elected!

April Birthdays

Last Sunday we celebrated our 'local' April Birthdays. We wish you could have all been with us.

Birthday reflections...
Whether 82 or 5 the same wonder appears on faces at the sight of the birthday cake.

2 more weeks for Lilou to leave toddlerhood... 3 she will be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...TIMES 2!!!

I don't want to bump Suzie's latest post here so do scroll down and check out the blog below this one, too, but I really do need to recognize that today is the BIRTHDAY of two very wonderful people who just happen to be family members. To the 2 Abbys, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we all hope your day is wonderful, magical, and everything you hope it will be. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY ABBY AND ABBY!!! I wish we could all be there in person to give hugs and presents!
