Here's the house...

Things are going well here:) yesterday we swam at Olympe's friend's house and made Belgian waffles that were amazing. Today we just did some watercolors and had petit déjeuner.

We're not going to Paris so I'm a little bummed but it will let me experience Lille even more!:) I'm learning some French but I'm still horrible. Olympe is a great teacher so I know some words but not enough to understand real live conversations..

So beautiful right?

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family!
