A Visit to the Aquarium

Part of a Letter to Ben from Micaiah:

     Yesterday I went to the Aquarium with Papi, Mimi and Miriam.   It took 2 hours and 30 minutes to get there.  It was at La Rochelle.
     First  we ate at a park that was 3 minutes away. Then we went back to the Aquarium and we went inside to get tickets.
     It was so fun!  We even had some earphones.  It looked like we were underwater.  The doors opened and we walked inside and thought we were walking on water.  We saw videos about the Aquarium.  We saw sharks!  That was my favorite. We saw starfish.  That was cool!  There was even a tunnel for children.
     At the end, I got a bouncy ball with a fake fish inside and we went to little shops and we visited the town.  At home, we ate Dominoes pizza and after that I went to bed and fell right away to sleep. 

Part of a Letter to Patience from Miriam:

     Yesterday we went to the aquarium.  It was far way, over 2 hours in the car.
      We  had a picnic in a park. At the aquarium we got some ear phones.  A girl turtle told a story.
       I liked the microscope best because we could see some tiny fish!  There was also a tunnel for children.  
       When we got home, we had pizza!

Look Who is 30!!!

Happy. Happy.  Happy. Birthday!  It is hard to believe that it was 30 years ago when God gave you to us.  You have added much joy to the family and we all love you dearly.  Have a wonderful day with your own little family today.

Final Destination-- and oh, so yummy!

Back at Tim and Ruth's house, I was treated to an Oreo Cheesecake (several pieces as Zacherie saw the first coming to me!).  It was delicious!!!  And made with REAL Philadelphia Cream Cheese and REAL Oreos!!  Then I had some nice presents.  But the "bestest" were framed calligraphy (:-)) from Micaiah (10 Reasons I Like Mimi) and Miriam (Mimi's Kindness).  Treasures for sure.

My 65th Birthday!

"Parc Marjolan"  -- the first step of my birthday supper.  It was beautiful weather and the park is gorgeous.  Ruth had prepared a yummy supper.  The buzzer rang for the park to close while we were finishing up the meal, so we decided not to get locked in :-) and to finish up at home.

Mimi's Ice Cream Shop

So I decided to be "almost Frenchy" and invite the family and Coles over for ice cream.  Micaiah and Miriam were my big helpers.  It was fun and yummy and now we are getting ready for the big picnic.  I am sure I added work to their day, but Tim and Ruth  were patient with this  65 year old lady :-0

Our newest church member!

Yesterday we drove down to meet baby Oscar..  It had been about a month since we had seen the Licois' because she was not able to travel near the end of her pregnancy.  The baby is adorable and his mama looks so great, too.  Esther's parents  are here from Italy and we had fun trying to communicate with them.  They are a sweet Christian couple. Tim and family are going down on Friday.

Happy Birthday, Isa!

We love you and are so proud of the you.  Kisses from all of us.  Come to France for #12!!!
