Exciting news for the family

It's been in the works for a few months, but we're finally able to announce that my family and I are moving to Paris, France in late December, 2008. My wife, Gina, has accepted a position to lead her companies' Applications division within their IT group.

It's going to be a big adjustment for us moving to another country, but we're very excited. I think, Delaney, my 13 year old daughter is the most nervous as she will be attending a new school, have half her classes taught in French and will have to make new friends.

We visited Paris last month in an attempt to line up an apartment and have Delaney interview at several schools. The trip was very successful. With the help of a relocation company, A Good Start, we fell in love with the first apartment we saw. It's an old style apartment building in the 15th arrondissement right on the border of the 7th an not far from the 6th. Below is a view looking out the 5th floor living room windows.

We spent some time playing tourist after Delaney was accepted to the Ecole Active Bilingue Jeannine Manuel school.
