Yay, the kids are in school.  I can’t tell you how cute she was on her first day.  She is up and ready in the morning unlike the boy who drags his feet along the way.  Sorry I’ve been away from blogging lately, too swamped, and uninspired.  Muse fled.  Despite the fact that I am excited about school and all, I am consumed with thoughts of our trip to France this fall.  What should I bring folks, what to bring these little people for the flight and the time we are spending there.  I am having  rough time dreaming up the packing list.  Anyone else out there traveled to far away places with young ones?  What was an item you were glad you brought?  I need help here.

would have bought an air conditioner by now.  Call me brilliant, as in the sun, as in very hot.
