Testing! Testing!



My friend, Leslie, set this up for us and I am still unsure how it works. This is a test run......



Here are a few pictures to please everyone!


Well, maybe just one until I figure out how to save them in a smaller format. I'll work on it tomorrow.

We are Here!!

Bonjour from France my friends and family!
WE have made it to Coutainville and are attempting to get settled. I do hope to get a blog going soon. You really have to see some fo these pictures! Some are gorgeous, some are just hilarious, others are just pitiful. We had an eventful trip over. Between two of us barfing, a broken stroller, a lost bag, a tiny car and an added train trip, it wasn't exactly calm. However, we saw the Lord working through it all. There were so many blessings like kind people letting us all sit together on the plane, the Aumoniers helping us with everything in Paris, more nice people on the train trip, and a soft place to land once we arrived.
Couple of prayer requests for now: Caroline Rose is feeling really bad and has a terrible cold. We did not bring her breathing treatments and am hoping we won't regret that. Please pray she clears up and it doesn't move into her lungs again. Greer, the kids French teacher, will be going to sign them up for school tomorrow. Please pray they get into good classes with good teachers. We think they will begin on Tuesday morning. Obvious prayers there. Wayne and Cole will be leaving for Paris Monday afternoon- pray for that transition to go okay. Typically the kids go through a mourning process when Daddy leaves. Cole has become their good buddy too. Aunt Angie did arrive this evening, so hopefully that will make it easier. Aunt Angie will be here through Friday afternoon, but Daddy doesn't come back until next Tuesday night or Wednesday. The lag time could be rough. We are all still jet lagged, but we had a good rest last night and pray for another tonight. Thanks for the prayers. I will try to update again soon.
