We mailed out all the paperwork for Vilay’s greencard and work authorization. It should arrive at the lockbox of the immigration service department sometime within the next few days. It is such a relief to have it out of our hands. We can only wait now.
The second announcement is I have a [...]

Vilay was finishing up painting my mother’s laundry room.  Sweet Bear and Petite Clown were wrestling and giggling as they watched their father from the doorway of the kitchen which leads into the laundry room.  Vilay and I were talking about how the painting was going.  Actually, I was asking him if he had managed [...]

I have been busy filling out forms and copying documents for Vilay to get the greencard. I will say that while in France it is not always easy to get the 10 year card…it doesn’t require quite so many forms or dollars. It is going to cost us a little under one thousand [...]

Coretta Scott King sums up why I enjoyed getting my teacher certification at Antioch University’s McGregor School. It is, also, one of the reasons that I like Yellow Springs.

I have been searching for a reason to keep blogging since I am no longer an expat.  I have been busy organizing and baby proofing in my mother’s house while at the same time catching up with my family that I haven’t been able to blog much.  I
have decided that blogging is helpful to me [...]

I have had some time to think about all the crazyness that has become normal to me over the past few months.  I think that the move back to the States was the right move.  I just could not live in a country that supports discrimination for any reason.  I am a woman with four [...]

I have finally adjusted to not trying to answer everyone in French. It took me four days to start thinking in mostly English without French sneaky in every other thought. Vilay and I will begin speaking in French together so that the girls will hear French. Their father will speak with the [...]
