As I listen to the wind blowing through the trees and the pigeons cooing just outside our living room window, I still can't believe that we live in the very center of Paris! Over a week in our new home and we are settling in just fine! We are in the very famous and historical district of "The Marais" which is full of history and charm. The Bastille is directly East of us. Right now, discovering ev... Read Full Entry

After living in Seattle Washington for 11 years, we have decided to pack up our bags and leave for new horizons, at least for the year. Our choice, Paris!! This was appealing for us because we will be able to return to Seattle with a direct flight if needed, we are close to family in the south of France and we are also very central in Europe which allows us to travel to England, Holland and Belgium with ease. This is also a prime time in the kid's lives to try out a new school without them hating us for the rest of their lives! After years of education at the French/American school, we are goi... full info

Yohan I am glad you found a team and have enjoyed the summer. Your old teammates are doing fine, we have a tournament this weekend at Starfire. We play in a state league (very competitive but not much travel) staring on 9/13. Take care say hi to your mom and dad. Jess

Liv and Kim send all their best
What a pleasure Liv and I have had reading about your adventure and seeing the pictures of your beautiful new home. It looks perfect. Please let Yohan know that Esther is also on a soccer team called the Angels and that I am their coach. I hope he finds humor in it and I also do not tolerated swearing and rough housing. Liv started school and missed Tatiana's right away. This is so great to hear from you. Once T starts have her write to us about her teacher and classmates. Love to you all, K and L

HI from Paris
Hi Kim and Liv, so good to hear from you! Let me tell you, Tatiana misses Fasps and all her great friends. She wonders if she will ever have friends like she did back home. I keep telling her she needs to give it some time, it's only been a few days. For some reason, Esther's team name seems more appropriate!! You must be having fun coaching the team, good for you! Tatiana will write soon, once she gets this whole school schedule down. Take care and we miss you! Cori and Tatiana

All the best!
Greetings from Seattle, and many thanks for your wonderful blog. I love seeing the pictures of your place. It looks like it is magical. Anika misses Tatiana a lot. She will write again separately. School has started and the routine is quite similar to all the last years. Now we send you a very big hug and we are really looking forward to all of your news. Christiane, Steve, Anika & Anderson

Hi!
Great to hear from you! I hope that your trip this summer went well, I kept thinking of you and all of your family gathering. Can you believe we are all back at school and in a routine, seems strange! I hope that Anika and Anderson are having a good start. Tatiana really misses Anika too! She is starting to make some new friends but she keeps saying it will never be like FASPS friends! We are enjoying life in a big city and all of it's conveniences! It seems like we have more time in general now that we don't have to drive everywhere all the time! Give more news when you can! Cori
