We are now in our 12th week, almost 3 full months, 1/4 of a year. It seems like just yesterday we arrived, and yet I still feel like we have forever to go. Life is actually really good here right now. I think I have finally gotten out of my funk (for now anyways!), and I am enjoying my time. Maybe it is due to the fact we have had some wonderful visits from friends and family back home, maybe due to the fact that we are having new friends over for suppers, maybe that I have volunteered for so much at school....but it feels like I have finally gotten some of my "old" life back. Maybe it is knowing that I only have 8 months to go.......
A few interesting things this week......
- went on 2 field trips with Noah's class. One to the cinema to watch a short film, and the other to an art gallery. The cinema trip was fab--kids walked over 2 km to get there and back, were well behaved, and so super cute!! Art Gallery trip---Gong Show! Really, who takes 28 three-year-olds to an art gallery??? Touché pas, touché pas, touché pas.......
- after the art gallery trip, a few of us moms (2 Canadian and 2 French) went out for a cafe. It went well. I understood some of what was being said, but I am really looking forward to starting the French language lessons in January! It was nice to be included in something like that....it felt like a milestone......
- I will be participating in a bake sale after school this Friday. Not sure yet what I should make....I am limited in my baking supplies here at the house.....maybe rice krispie squares dipped in chocolate.
So, for today, France is my friend....we are still testing the waters, but it feels like we are making headway. Bonsoir, mes amis.....
