Back to blogging...

I have not done a good job of updating the blog lately, so I'll try to catch everyone up on what we've been doing...





The weather has been nicer and we've had a few days in the 50's with sun! We've gotten out and enjoyed some of the many parks Paris has to offer. A few weeks back to hit the Jardin des Tuileries. They have a play area, trampoline pits, a carousel and pony rides. Carson LOVED this park. He loved it so much he threw a major fit when we left... Here are a few pictures before the melt down...



The trampolines... lots of fun!


Carson is going to school 4 days a week for 3 hours a day. He loves school and asks me everyday..."School today Momma? I go and play with my friends....you stay home." My child is one of the only children in his class that doesn't cry when their Mother leaves, Carson can't wait for me to leave so he can start his day. When I pick him up they open the classroom door and all of the children run out. Every child runs to their Mom and is excited to see them. Not my son...he takes one look at me and says "NO! I want to play! You go home Momma!" Warms my heart... I guess I should be thankful that he likes school so much and isn't nervous one bit to be away from me!
One last thing...

Ryan was offered a different position in his office here, a promotion. The catch with the position was that we had to commit to being in France for 3 years. We look time to think it over, but in the end we decided to pass on the opportunity. Ryan was very flattered that his name came up for this position, but 3 years is a long time. We will be ready to get back to our life in Kansas City come December. So we are still on track to be home before Christmas this year!

Ok, so that's been February... March has started with a visit from my parents. They got here yesterday and will be here till the 19th. Carson was very excited to see Nana and Papa! Today he is going to take them to his school to show them his classroom. Then we're going to hit the Musee d'Orsay... Pictures to follow!
