We replaced all the windows in the house and even uncovered one on the north side of the sunroom. Very exciting! They look great! Spike worked so hard.
Track Season! Jacob did some fun things. He ran the 100 and high jumped. He took 4th at regionals which is pretty good for a freshman. He got hurt at regionals so didn't get to compete at state but...
Coolness happened there! We got to meet Dick Fosbury. You know of the fosbury flop? Olympic high jump champion in 1968! Cool. Very cool.
Summertime fun happened. Rachael came to stay for about four weeks. Lucas' boys stayed for 8 weeks. I didn't want to let them go. We played and played and went to Yellowstone and had a great time.
August went by quickly. Much too quickly. But that meant that our much anticipated trip to France finally happened. Jared married Camille du Fou! We are so happy that they are married and so very happy. We love Camille and her family!
But before that..... Paris!
Here we are at the Opera House of Garnier! This is where the story of the Phantom of the Opera was set. Box 5 is even kept locked so no one gets murdered. Rachael set up an English speaking tour.
We went to the Louvre. Oh my goodness. We saw the Mona Lisa, so many beautiful paintings and Egyptian Section which for some reason fascinates me. We were only able to spend one morning there. I think a good three weeks would be more appropriate.
The Eiffel Tower was awesome!
That pretty much sums up most of the happenings. Have a great day!
