Thursday

Finally the sun has come out again! After two days of rain and cold weather, we were finally able to leave the house for more than just a trip to buy a baguette. I took Mia to the Bordelais park this morning on the bike and let her collect "gocks" until our basket was practically full. I was hoping to show here the animals in the petting zoo - bunnies, goats and ducks - but I couldn't find them. I didn't remember the park being so big! We did find a neat playground with lots of toys for children just her age. She loved the slide in the shape of a cat that she was able to go up and slide down all by herself. There was a lot of head nodding and, "I do" when we found that one...

This afternoon we're visiting a house for sale on the other side of the Chartrons with 4 bedrooms, an office and a huge backyard. The pictures have Thomas all in a dither but I'd rather wait to see the place before I get too excited. Knowing that I'm the one who would have to pack the house up makes me stay grounded.
