I thought I would update our friends and relatives here and in France once we got settled into a routine back here at home. We arrived home on May 14th. In the three weeks since we've been back, we've done a lot!
First of all, the big news is that Gaius has enrolled in Kindergarten at Matthew Whaley Elementary School, which is right down the street from our house. In fact, the distance between school and our home is about the same distance between the school and our home in France.

Gaius attends school from 9:05-3:50 each day. He has only 30 minutes for lunch, followed by one recess outside. Very different from his school in Gif where lunch lasted two hours and they played outside three times a day!
In other news, we have a new car! This car is pretty small. Right now, my parents are visiting with us. If we all want to go someplace together, Christopher meets us there on his bike because the car only seats four people!

Our local pool just opened up. They had an ice cream social for all of the families involved with the swim team. Gaius will swim for the Manta Rays this summer!

We really miss our friends in France, just like we missed our friends in Williamsburg! We have had a lot of fun catching up with all of our friends and visiting our regular haunts.

Believe it or not, Gaius turns 6 tomorrow! Here is a link to the slideshow of pictures taken at his birthday party, which had a D-Day theme. Click Here: D-Day Birthday Party
Even more enjoyable is the video of the obstacle course from the party. Enjoy!
