Bonjour et Bienvenue en France! Emily's exploration of France began today at Le Memorial de Caen Museum. The museum highlights the effects of D-Day, but also examines how to learn from the past to achieve a peaceful future. The Caen Museum describes the journey of Europe's descent into war, Hitler's rise to power, through the dark years of uncertainty, and finally, its emergence with a vision of peace. She took part in D-Day and join the Allied Army as it leads the liberation of France, through a visual presentation of the Allied victory. Later, she took a coach to the coast of Normandy, the actual location of the D-Day landings. Finally, she went to the American Cemetary overlooking Omaha Beach. Here are my giant babies, obviously I couldn't find a picture that had anything at all to do with this post. :) Once again, we have five kids. We have no plans to adopt and our license expires in October. We are just helping a little girl that is very sweet and in a bad situation. She needs to be with her family, so we are helping transition her to go home. :)

Bon Voyage!
It's so hot, A.J. and Luke are sucking Terry's Camelback dry. Emily left today. We made it to the airport just before 10am, she flew to Chicago at 12:15, then on to London tonight. When her plane lands she will start her first day in Europe. I will try to update everyday if I can. I'll add pictures when she gets back. For now, I'm going to try and figure out this new video loader thing, we'll see if it works. I haven't figured out the video thing yet, but look up! I added a picture! :)
