The Return of The Father

Sounds serious, doesn't it? Ethan has finally rejoined us in Paris. The last 2 weeks have not been easy without him. If it was only me and the kids, things would have been fine but with my injured neck, 2 children and a badly behaving canine, things were not running smoothly. Poor Lili was like Cinderella, "Lili, could you load the dish washer? Lili, could you take Chloe out? Lili, could you hang the laundry? Lili, could you cook diner? Lili, could you go get Mommy a petit bottle of wine to wash down the pain killers? Life improved greatly after meeting some new friends and a session with my new osteopath. But everyone is very excited that daddy is finally home! Daddy is also very happy to be home, although he had to bid farewell to his new friends in Bordeaux, all of whom own eatery establishments, but were very welcoming to the lonely foreigner. The girls sort of started school on friday. Noa had a half day and Lili had a whopping 2 hours! But they both seemed to enjoy it, liked their teachers and everything was translated. I think that is just for the first day but I didn't mention that to them, why rain on their parade? Today we upgraded from scooters and got roller blades (with helmets and pads) and they seemed to like that. Also, sorry there haven't been any pictures lately but the little camera is not functioning properly and I have to go get it fixed. This week should be interesting, I'll keep you posted!
