Forgot to mention: We're home!

So, I clearly gave up the blogging in Paris. We were pretty busy and as you can see below, having a wonderful time!

But reality returns, and we are home again! The day after we got back I started a new job at Cornerstone Schools of Alabama (www.csalabama.org) teaching 6-8 grade English. It has been pretty wild!

A post for days gone by!

to Montmartre and up to the dome of Sacre Coeur

Back on the streets... yes, I had a sketch made. No, it doesn't look much like me. 
But, look how French my sketcher is! 

 Can't believe it's time to go. What a wonderful week!!!
