Wow, how do you begin to describe something that you never, in your wildest dreams, imagined you would do. I feel like there is no way to describe what a great vacation we had. Jean-Jacques and I were totally enchanted by all that we saw, and we spent everyday with the kids. The weather was totally cooperative, until the last day. That is to be expected because I had decided that I was saving Sunday for my sunbathing day. This ofcourse means that I returned to Michigan without an eye-popping tan, but it also means that I have reduced my risk of skin cancer.
Unfortunately I am still really unable to post any pictures to this blog. I did download the recommended program, but it doesn't work, and I have no idea how to make it work, so if anyone is actually interested in pictures, you'll have to come and see me. All the technological advances and I am still in the dark ages!
My father did ok on the trip. He was slow and not totally occupied with making sure that his behaviour did not affect the group, but he didn't have any "crashes". My mother spent the entire vacation worrying about my father and did not "come out and play" with us, for fear of what she may find upon her return to the villa. We really need to assess because my mothers existence is turning into sitting and watching my father sit...
JJ is currently in France working like a dog, and I am thanking God that I am not a single parent because I don't think that I am made to handle that kind of pressure alone. The kids have been really good actually and I am very lucky that they are independent. Charlotte had a cold that she conquered, but not before passing it along to her brother. Luke has been coughing a lot and I have spent a few sleepless nights, waiting for his episodes. He seems to be on the mend though, last night he went to bed unmedicated and neither of us woke up until this morning, so maybe we have turned the corner.
All is well here. We are getting ready for our February trip to Paris, and I think that the kids are even getting a little excited.
