Sadies first day

Here is Sadie ready for her first day of school. You would think it was Christmas the way she woke up this morning. She has been so excited to go back...counting down the days.
She is in second grade and has a bunch of the neighborhood girls in her class.
She is so excited to learn new things, and for homework. She loves homework (hopefully that will still be the case in her high school years.)

We are Alive!

So finally, I have a chance to sit and get some posting done. We have been so busy for the past three weeks. Matt and I had the opportunity to go to France with my Mom and Dad. We visited Paris for four days. We saw everything that we could cram in. We were on the go everyday we were there. Then we drove down to the South of France to meet family I have never met before. The countryside was beautiful and meeting Family was Amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks so much Mom and Dad, We love you!! Here are some snippets of the trip.

Here are some photos of the Eiffel Tower that we took.

Here is my Dads cousin Helene, and her mom Collette.
They were so fun and took us around in Toulon and to the family farm house in Grasse, France.
It was beautiful!

The best part of the trip for me was meeting family I never have met before. Here is pictures of my dads cousin Marie Floxel her Husband Marcel, their daughter Emmanuel, and her kids. They were so fun, and so easy to get along with, I felt like I have known them forever.

All of the beautiful art and architecture was amazing to see.
The pictures really don't do it justice

All of the yummy food, and the fun street markets. We loved it.
Pastries for breakfast lunch and dinner!!

Aloha

I know it has been a while since I have blogged, but I have been crazy busy, I know it is hard to believe with only one child but I have been. Here is the view from the balcony of our room in Hawaii...more pictures to come. For some reason they are not transferring on to my computer...will have to get Matt to work on it for me:)!
