My life in France

I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh - I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry

Hello everyone!
It's been forever since I've written and I sincerely apologize for that. I've been busy but my mood has picked up. I'm on the coasting part of the roller coaster just after the drop. So much has happened since my last post, considering that was a week ago, I think it's only fair.

Okay, well we'll start with my birthday. It started like an almost normal day, except for the huge sign that said Joyeux Anniversaire Lulu! because Lulu is one of my [many] nicknames. Anyway, later that afternoon, Juliette asked me if I wanted to go for a bike ride. I agreed and off we went. When we came back, a short two hours later, the curtains were drawn, a black towel thrown over the glass door and all doors shut, I went right up to my room. Well, since I could do basically nothing on the main floor, I read my book. Later, I was summoned downstairs. Marie was filming with my camera and everyone else was doing some type of song and dance of Happy birthday, in French. The whole room was transformed, it was amazing. I have pictures.

Well, the next day, two of Juliette's friends came over, Jeanne and Juliette. At the same time, Marie had two friends over. It was crowded and everyone slept over. It was fun and I also have pictures.

Also, it's a bit late but better because I have Easter pictures!!

Love Emma

I'm sorry to say that I don't know the lyrics.
I did, however, love all the links to your wonderful pictures. Do you know that you come home in just 3 weeks and 1 day?
Wow!!
I can't wait.
Love Mom

Hi Emma,
Well, finally. Each day I check my all-too-slow computer for a blog entry and am disappointed when there's nothing. So, today...oh joy!!! you posted something. I've seen all the photos already and loved them all. By the way, I also got your wonderful letter yesterday. Thank you!
Tonight I'm going to see a movie with my friends, while Pappy has a supper meeting. I can't believe you'll be back in Canada in 3 weeks already. Whose blog will I read then? Enjoy your remaining time Emma. You have been exposed to so much culture, language, new food, etc. and have learned so much. Lucky you!

Lots of love,
Granny

Whoa! I think I gorged on pictures there. Or maybe it was just that I viewed the "Jump Shot" album last of all... probably a bad idea, I think I shall have to lie down! But first, let me say how grateful I am for the post, and how envious I am of the wonderful time you appear to be having!

Love,
StrongDad

Okie Dokie,
Well, I just got your letter yesterday and thank you so much, I love getting mail. I'm glad you like the gum.
It looks like you had lots of on your birthday, and easter, and with the horse, and jumping around...the pictures were great-a good number of them made me
laugh:P
Nothing has happened here really- it's just the usual at school, plus lots of practice for the play.
Speeking of which, I think you probably could do the dance. Do you know the whole Wind it Up dance? If you do then that's great.
We changed the song though, and a Few of the steps are different, but so far that's all that has been changed. When I find out the name of the song I'll tell you. OK?
Once again I don't know the lyrics, sorry.
Well, I loved your pictures they were awesome! Keep the *blogs* coming, and I'll keep leaving comments.
Mis you lots, sara

Thanks for the update, and the talk this morning. You owe me 5 hugs now. Sorry I haven't checked recently, but you stopped for a while so I stopped cchecking. I love and miss you. P.S. Everyone is asking when you come back.
