June 2009, a very busy month!

Here are two links to Youtube videos of my talented children. They all worked really hard to prepare for these performances with their classes. Let us know what you think!

The past few weeks, we have been really busy with end of the year activities at school, church and everywhere else. We had a choir concert, Kermasse (school carnival), and our church picnic. Clermont's professional rugby team, ASM, also made it to the French rugby finals and that event was a huge game and party. This was the same weekend that we had visitors from the states, shout out to the Bowers' Family. Whew! I am tired from just writing all of that! I have also been to garden parties and birthday parties, all the while doing my regularly scheduled activites. Daniele and Maya also had final exams, talk about a busy schedule! But we had such a great time with our friends, showing them our new home and city and of course taking them to Paris and back in one day! Thank you so much for visiting!


Although things are busy and a bit crazy, the hardest part of June is saying good bye to friends that won't be returning next year. Since there are so many people from around the world that live here temporarily, every June is filled with goodbye parties for many families that have become apart of the community. In 10 short months, I can say that we have gotten close to several families that will be leaving. So it is with this life, but we are thankful for the experience and the time that we have had with these wonderful families. Here are a few pictures from over the last few weeks. I plan to continue posting blogs during the summer, but hopefully I will see most of you during our US tour!
