France

Mark and I are in France this week so that Mark can see his work, meet people at work and for us to familiarize ourselves with the area. Today because we slept in, we didn't have as much time to see the area as we would have liked before Mark went to work. Tomorrow we will set the alarm earlier. With being 6 hours ahead its harder to wake up earlier.

Today we went to Biot and saw where the entrance to our neighborhood is. Its gated, so we were not able to go past the gate. On Wednesday or Thursday we will meet with our property manager to see the outside of the house and neighborhood. She will also show us the area.

After seeing the entrance to the neighborhood, we went to the grocery store. It was fun to see what they had that was the same and what they had that was different. Similar items were cereals, yogurt, meets and produce. Although we will be going to Market for the produce, so we can get fresher produce. The differences were the eggs were not refrigerated, different types of baked bread, HUGE section of cheese, etc. We will have to go to the specialty shops and compare them to the grocery store. The grocery store looked the same as what our grocery store would look like except the people who check you out get to sit in comfortable looking computer chairs, so they don't have to stand for a long time.

We forgot to bring the cable in from the car to download pictures so we will post pictures tomorrow night which will be your afternoon.

Tomorrow we will go to the bank and spend more time in the areas where we will be moving tomorrow. The area is beautiful and moutainess!!

Ballet Recital
















Sarah had her ballet recital today! She danced really well. All that hard work really paid off for all the girls! Everyone did well on a big stage and in front of large audience. Way to go Sarah!

Sean was cute and told Sarah he loved the recital and all the music. Sean did well for having to sit through it twice this week.

Ballet Recital Rehearsal









Sarah's dance studio practiced their dance recital a couple of days before the big recital. Everyone did really well for being on stage for the first time in front of an audiance. Sarah's friend Sydney came to watch Sarah and other friends practice for the recital. Sydney surprised the girls with flowers!

Ballet!















Today was parent's day at Ballet, which means we got to watch the class. There is no windows to be able to watch each class. Since Sarah's recital is next Saturday, they had everyone come in their costume, hair in a bun, and a make up! It was fun to watch! Sarah is a great ballerina!
