Getting the key.

Kate and Liv love their new room.
The wonderful wine and information that awaited us.
Putting away groceries and making dinner the night we got in.
A wonderful way to keep track of what you need.
On Saturday, we all slept in (a wonderful treat) but woke too late to get to Beaune's Saturday outdoor open market. We went to town anyway, and saw the remnants of the market (and hope to be done with jetlag next weekend to be there first thing in the morning). We then had chocolat chaud, un cafe creme, and then a bit of lunch at a Beaune brasserie.
The kids found a park nearby where they ran around for a while (we had to put off going to a play park until we could get everyone rainboots. It's pretty muddy right now!)
And in addition to a LOT of groceries today, we got slippers for the family and rain boots for the kids. Tomorrow, we'll all walk to the boulangerie in our village for a baguette, and hope to make it to a play park for some much-needed play.

Wow! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on everything.
Great job, kids and parents, of getting there in one piece! I'm amazed that you managed to ditch a suitcase in Colorado, even.
It sounds like you're happily settling in. Here's hoping for many more delightful discoveries about your new home and town.
Harmony said out of the blue yesterday, "Maybe Kate or Liv has the hiccups right now." She also asked when we'd have another play-date with you, and is eagerly planning for her birthday party!
I found your blog via Laura at The Grape Journal - your landlady :) I applaud you all - its very exciting and I am very envious of your adventure. We plan to move to France later this year but sans les enfants. BTW I want one of those groceries reminders - how cool!
I'm a friend of your lovely landlady. You are living my dream, so I guess I'll have to live it vicariously through your blog!
Looking forward to more.
Pam
