Hi Anne

Wow, you guys certainly have fitted a lot into your time here in France! I think its great what you've managed to achieve in terms of travel, bureaucracy and kids without one of you being fluent in french. I hope you enjoy the rest of your year - I found the first year here was really quite hard looking back. And when you go home, I think you'll realize just how much progress you all have made.

Ciao
