France Friday: Progress

All three of the kids' passports have arrived!  We are hoping to get mine and Brandon's in the next day or two, since we do hope to be accompanying our children to France.  We are making plans to travel to Atlanta in mid-late July to apply for our visas.  Our new catch phrase around our house is that the next months will be one great big adventure for us.  I can sense Karis beginning to get a little apprehensive about the idea of going to school and not speaking the language.  My rule-following perfectionist cannot imagine how she will do everything correctly.  Micah doesn't really understand much about the move, but does show some signs of nerves when it comes to leaving his friends.  He also asked me today about making sure we take his frog and pillow that he sleeps with.  Asher, of course, is pretty much oblivious, but its going to be different for all of us.  So, we are continuing to look at it as an adventure, every part, from travel, to language, to the unknown.  I have been told that the kids will be less anxious if they don't see Brandon and I falling apart, so that's our goal (I know, aim high, right?!).  After all, what is adventure without risk?!  Joyeux Vendredi! (Happy Friday!)
