Yes, it's true. That bright, pretty little apartment will be our home. We were so excited to hear the news. We are going to walk over to see her today and check out the neighborhood.

On a different note, we are having great difficulty finding any bilingual schools that have openings for Max and Sophie. We are also having trouble finding private french schools. We have done our research and the public schools are phenomenol throughout Paris. The Parisians spend a lot of their tax dollars on education and they place a high priority on education. We have heard from countless Americans who moved to Paris when they were children and were put into the public school system and thrived. Gulp. I did not sleep a wink last night worrying about all of this.

There is a private school right across the street from our apartment that has no openings but I can be one pushy broad (in a good way) when it comes to my kids. Dan and I are going to dress to impress, bring a folder of paperwork and see if we can talk with someone in person at the school. We shall see.

We may have to put them into a public school in our neighborhood for the next semester and pray that we can get them into a bilingual school this fall. Registration begins in January for the Fall.
