leaving paris...

in 3 hours, i'll be on a train to brussels, belgium. i'll spend 24 hours with my family there before flying back to the homeland. whoa.

it's crazy to think that i've been gone 5 weeks! in some regards it seems like a long time, but to another extent, it seems like i have been here that long. i'm sad to leave the Feria's and Paris. they've been so hospitable towards me, the kids are so great, and Paris... well, it's a beautiful city full of so much history and life. it's been exciting living here for a month and experiencing Parisian life with them. however, i'm definitely excited to return home and see my family and friends and share stories and pictures (22 gigs worth!). (tomorrow! it's only a day away!)

i'll try to post some more pictures later! now, i'm going to eat breakfast and chill with the kids before i take the train!

grace & peace.
