But here's the truth about a home-school summer, you still kind of do a lot of the same things, but with the freedom to not do them. We'll still read books and do some creative writing. And I'll make the kids do a page of math now and then, and maybe we'll even do the occasional science experiment? Who knows?! But we'll be free to enjoy the most beautiful time of the year. It will also give us time to really take advantage of living in Paris proper for the next month. If all goes well, we expect to be moving into a place of our own in a suburb of Paris in the next month or two. All the moving logistics that will need to be taken care of are another good reason to be done with school in the month of June. I just realized I'm giving all kinds of reasons for ending school at the end of May because when K.J. let that drop to a French man we were speaking with, I felt like he thought we were irresponsible parents since French kids go to school into July. I promise we haven't been taking all these holidays French kids have had the past couple of months! I kind of felt like I needed to say.
I can't believe it's our last week with Lua. She feels like part of our family, and she's been such a blessing to so many in our community here. We thought she would be here longer, but hallelujah, her green card interview has been scheduled for early June so she'll hopefully be joining her husband soon, which is where she belongs. We'll let her go right after she babysits for us so we can go out for our anniversary. 😊
"If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can."
