The only shot that I have with Julien. I really wanted to take a family shot, but the entire crew was never around at the same time.
The bus as it pulled up the drive at McDonogh.
Many, many goodbyes...
One last group shot.
Sending them off.

Au Revoir Julien!
The Frenchies left this morning. We gave Julien this hat along with a bag of goodies to take to New York. They will spend 2 days in the city and then hopefully, they will be able to fly home on Tuesday. (The Geneva airport is supposed to open tomorrow)

Baltimore Traditions
Now that I am done with my fundraiser, I have time to focus on making Julien's trip a memorable one.
On Sunday, we went to the Orioles game with a group of McDonogh students and their french correspondents to see the Orioles play the Toronto Bluejays. The Orioles were kind enough to give the french students the Orioles t-shirts and floppy hats. (Thus, the sea of Orange!)
Someone in the crowd always buys a foam finger....this one made the rounds.
The group doing the wave.
After the game, we had steamed crabs for dinner (finally, something American!) Julien and Charlotte were not too sure about eating them.
We've been eating crabs for so long that we forget how hard it is the first couple of times you pick crabs. They were troopers though and really enjoyed cracking the claws with the mallets.
Today, I brought a car full of french students home and we stopped along the way for a snowball--a true Baltimore tradition. I tried to get them to get marshmallow on top, but no one was willing to give it a try.
More adventures coming soon...

Julien
Our french exchange student, Julien, arrived a week ago Monday. Ammy was very excited to make him feel welcome. We bought balloons and
attached them to our mailbox and to his bed. He is staying in the twins' room for two weeks.
Ammy drew a sign to hang on the door to his room.
The first night Julien was here, we had tacos for dinner. The second night, we went out for sushi. ( My kids have given me a lot of grief about our lack of American food)
We've had a lot of fun so far...there have been trips during the day and parties every night (it makes me tired just typing that!) More pictures to come showing the adventures we have had!
