Spring is here!
We have been blessed
with beautiful blue skies,
warm temperatures and
plenty of sunshine!
I am not kidding when I say
that I still pinch myself
over the fact that we live here!
Almost three years here now
and I continue to feel blessed.
It's been a busy few weeks.
Many visitors,
lots of school activities,
plenty of lunching at outdoor cafe's..
all good..
just busy!
Some exciting family news! ...
Griffin was accepted into
first grade :)
The application here for school
is no joke.
High fees,
interviews,
essays etc.
He will attend another
bilingual school..
this one much closer to our
apartment.
We can walk!
It is a sweet little school
and we're very excited he'll be
going there next year.
Griffin has grown up so much
this past year!
I have absolutely no regrets
keeping him out of preschool..
he's kept up with his peers
academically and socially.

at Griff's school on Spring day!)
I LOVE that his school is so diverse.
His classmates are from all over the world.
And, it's been fun for me..
getting to know the moms and dads
of all these great kids!
(another iphone pic taken on my
47th bday! We face-timed with Stephen so
we could all be together to sing! :)
Stephen was initiated into a fraternity
recently at the University of Miami!
Phi Delta Theta.
I'm hoping this will be a good
experience for him.
I know he's made some
great friends throughout the pledging
process.
I can't believe he's finishing up his first
year of college in a few weeks!
He flies home here to Paris May7th!!

It was such an
amazing dining experience.

Spring is beautiful in Paris!
Gorgeous sunsets...
One sunny Sunday
Steve and I took the boys
over to the Louvre
to ride scooters and bikes.
Some friends were visiting
last week and I took them
up to Montmarte and Sacre Coeur.
