A Year Away

In and around Europe

Six years of dreaming and we are now living that dream of spending a year in Europe together as a family. 

We left in a whirlwind that hot day on July 30, 2008,  running around in circles in our last minute attempt to shove in every piece of clothing, stuffies, violins and everthing we thought we couldn't live without...thanks to our kind, patient friend, Elizabeth we arrived at the airport well in advance of our scheduled flight.

Seven weeks into our trip...we are now settled in France for the next 6 months.
