We did a nice skype call to wish my mom a happy birthday, and AJ helped electronically blow out the candles. Prior to the call, AJ said she really wished we could be home for Yaya's birthday, and she did not mean home in our Parisian apartment.
As the call neared an end, my mom started getting teary eyed, which set off the cyclical water works. AJ made a joke and shouted joyfully that she was not crying in fact! After hanging up, she said to me - "Remember when I told you I wanted to stay in America? Well I am keeping that. That is what I wanted. I didn't want to move to Paris." Waterworks round 2.
So, for all you that were getting jealous looking at our amazing photos (and they are!), just sharing that not every day is a sunny-Eiffel-tower kind of day!
AJ goes back to school tomorrow, so that should help her feel more settled in again with her friends. And then next school vacation, my mom will be here!
