A few weeks back, we took a walk by the lake in Villers-le-lac. We saw some squirrels and deer. The kids ran until their cheaks were glowing red. It was nice.
We have gotten lots and lots of snow this past week. I will put up some pics in the next few days. I have time to post more here since I am officially on vacation for the next two weeks!
Happy Holidays!

I have taken some pictures with the idea of sharing them here. During the past several months, I have only taken pictures to share with family on facebook. I was just kinda hanging on and taking it day by day until things settled down a little.
So.
There is this thing that got in the way of blogging. It is called a job. It made my life very crazy for a while.
I work nightshift because that is what works best for my family. I need to be organized but not much more than any other working mother. Working did, however, kill my creative side. I needed time to adjust to many new things in my life. Good things.
Our life has taken a path that six years ago I would never have believed could be possible.
Here is what we have been up to…
I should be French (Franco-American) this time next year. The process of my obtaining French citizenship officially started one week ago. We are, also, in the process of buying land (in France) and finishing up the house plans with our builder.
This Thanksgiving like so many others is a time to reflect on how thankful I am for the wonderful people that I have in my life. I am blessed. I hope all of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a good one. I will be cooking up our dinner this weekend.

Rock.
I will turn 41 in a few months. Most people think I am in my early 30′s.
Thankfully, I am not. :D
I really like who I am and where I am…Now.

All of this snow is gone.
I have been driving on a regular basis for over a month.
I have been working for a month and a half.
I really like my job.
I am tired but it is a good tired.
We are moving in three months.
I have so much to do before this move.
I am not stressing about it.
I will just do it.
The first month at my job was incredibly hard.
It was also wonderful.
I should be sleeping now.
Instead, I think it is good to give you all a little update.
I will try to make another post this weekend.
It is hard because we are always running somewhere or I need to catch up on cleaning or resting or Vilay is hogging the computer or the kids need me or well you get it.
I am so sorry for not posting sooner. I have no real excuse other than working full-time with three kids plus Vilay. :D
I will so be taking a nap tomorrow before work. Just sayin’

Yesterday, my children went with my In-Laws to France where they will stay for a week during their school vacation. It is nice to have them off having fun during a week that I know will be stressful for Vilay and I. I am starting my first week at my new job, we need to find a second car and I am looking for babysitters for a few half days that the daycare couldn’t cover. It will all come together one way or another. I am sure.
In the meantime…It is quiet here.
Too quiet.
I miss them already.
Below is a photo of St. John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of all bridges. I think it is appropriate to have him in this post as we are passing another bridge in our life.
