Day One

We drove to O'Hare airport today and picked up the French family who will be staying in out home. It is hard to believe that after weeks of planning and preparation, the trip is finally upon us. I have a serious mixture of fear and excited anticipation. How will I manage with no English for a month? Will the kids enjoy this? Will we all be safe? Will I get bored not working?

We have consolidated somewhat but I think we still have too much stuff. The Le Boullicaut's had so much less than us. Right now we have four big suitcases, two smaller ones, Carol's guitar and six carry on bags plus Carol's purse and the camera bag.

I heard from both Mac and Constance's baby sitters that they are doing well. Bisous seems to sense that somethings up, but I think she'll have fun staying with nana and grandpa. Well, stay tuned, there's bound to be more exciting updates to come.
