New Year's Eve


This is the eve of more than just the new year for us... we depart for Paris tomorrow!

Gabi and I have been working diligently to try to organize for our trip. Two months away from home is a loooong time. We have a suitcase full of sports equipment, a suitcase full of school books, and we have not even packed any clothing yet. Fortunately, everything seems to be coming together for a safe and sane departure.

The boys are very excited, but a little nervous. I think they are also coming to the realization that they will not see their friends for a while. We have been double-stacking the play dates this week so the boys can get their fill of time with their buddies.

Into all this craziness we somehow managed to get through Christmas, a snow storm (17 inches!), and 6 days of no power after an ice storm. December has been a blur.

We will write more upon our arrival in Paris.

Bonne Annee!
