Today is what I hope a typical Wednesday will be like. First of all, I was able to sleep this morning! Daniele and Maya have school for half of the day on Wednesday and they are old enough to walk themselves to school. Lauren and John are out of school all day Wednesday, so they slept in a well. I woke up in time to have coffee with Preston before he went to work.
Everyone was home for lunch, including Preston. When he is in town, he works close enough to walk home for lunch. After lunch, the children have Tennis Lessons. It is a short 10 min drive from home. I was able to complete some of my French homework while they practiced.
Now it is 3pm and we are done for the day. It is very nice to have a little break in the middle of the week. Right now I am sitting by the window in my kitchen sipping tea. There is a nice breeze outside and it is perfect fall weather. It had been cold the past few weeks, but this week has been very nice.
Of course, I could wash another load of clothes or unpack another box. But for now I am enjoying a little time for myself. During this transition, there have been many ups and downs, but I am grateful for this experience. One of my favorite scriptures is Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This "thing" that we are doing, moving to and living in France, is not easy. But I know that Christ has strenghthen us and gives us grace and just average wednesdays!!!!

Clarette, welcome! I found your blog through blogland, but I live here too near Clermont Ferrand. You have a beautiful family! I pray that Christ will strengthen you today as you continue to transition to your new life here!
Chere famille
Finalement! bravo! Mr Obama est maintenant notre president. Je regrette que vous ne soyez pas a Columbia pour feter l'occasion avec moi. Vous me manquez beaucoup et j'espere que les enfants seront tous contents de leur mini-vacances -
Bonne fete de Thanksgiving.
