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.
Andrew and Anne Speedie and their 6 3/4 year old twins Samuel and Ella (from Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia) are selling everything they own and are leaving the only life they've ever known to spend a year in France and experience a different way of life
