This is not a travel update.. be warned.
Just wanted to give you all an update on our 'foreign' language skills here. Today, I had a conversation entirely in french with a liqueur producer in Normandy, France and I understood almost all of it. I asked questions, repeated what I thought he said back to him and then ordered some amazing apple aperitif from him. The true test will be to see what we get if/when it arrives, but I actually thought it was fun to speak with him. When we first moved here I dreaded having to speak in French with anyone, and now I think it's fun, though still definitely a challenge.
Anna now knows her numbers and colors (1-10) in french. And if you ask her what color something yellow is, she will usually reply in french, "Juane." The progress is great. Hopefully she won't be traumatized later by the fran-glais we speak in our house. Ha, ha.

unrelated to your post, i just wanted to say that I really love your 365 pictures. your journaling adds so much too. I've sorta fallen off the horse (missed 2 or was it 3 more days due to the craziness of my trip home)I really like how many pictures you've taken of the kids. you are going to have such an wonderful snap shot of their development (and yours :) )
me again. the picture of james and anna in the daisies is beautiful. so soft and sweet. you captured a nice moment between the two.
