If not, you have a great memory and it is helpful info for others. I hope you were awake enough at that point to enjoy Paris for atleast a little bit. I would love to go back sometime!

You might like the hummus - even though the sound of it is a little disgusting - I mean, come on - pureed chick peas? Who thought of that?!? But, especially with the hot pepper sauce on top it is quite good. Ha-Ha! You might like the hummus - even though the sound of it is a little disgusting - I mean, come on - pureed chick peas?

If you want to see the original ending of the movie then you can visit my blog at htttp://likeiknowit.wordpress.com and check the review section. Actually according to the book he was the last man surviving who would capture the creatures to conduct the freaky tests in vain to cure them. In the end he simply returns the captured Alice Braga and survives to be a true Legend.

Hopefully once I move here connection speed from our apartment won't be too much of a prob. Of course I probably won't be updating every day like this either.

Victoria does have a Masters and 7 years experience in Special Ed. But making sure the little ones are looked after will be the #1 priority. Once they are both in school - who knows?

You mention daycare, so I'm assuming this is because she is not a stay-at-home-mom? Just curious as to what jobs are available for women in that area...

You are definitely gifted at making connections and forming relationships with local people. That sort of thing does not come easily to eeryone and I like reading about how you are using your gifts. Thanks for posting all of this! As far as the comment about the water cooler on the counter in the garden apartment being "interesting", I say "great idea!" Sadie will have water all over the floor in record time if it is in reach!! I enjoyed seeing the pictures of the apartments and look forward to hearing more about the process and Noah’s school.
