Like Ally Bean, I don't have anything to say.
Well, that's not exactly true. I do have things to say, but it's more like Announcements To The Internet. I'll spare you another bulleted list, and just tell you what's going on.
Tomorrow evening I'm leaving for France. I'm spending the weekend with friends, and on Tuesday (while all you Amurrican readers are preparing your holiday barbecues), I'll pick up my kids after their last day of school (yes, you read that right: July 4th = last day of school in France this year; please, shoot me now).
The three of us will fly back to the States the next day, and we'll have a month together. My expectations are high. I don't know how else to put it.
Suffice it to say that my arms ache for my children. I won't even mention my heart.
I'm happy for you that you're getting you're younglings...
I know your expectations are high, but i'm hoping that the reality is even better...
:-)
Tell france i said hi.

Bon Voyage! I hope that the visit goes very well. I am missing our older daughter a lot, and look forward to seeing her when we get home from PA. It's hard to be away.

First of all, great photos - I have to learn how to create a montage like that one. I can fully understand how badly you must miss those lovely kids. I hope you have a great trip over to France and back, and that the month with your kids meets - I actually mean goes well beyond - any expectations you may have.
