Time is such an interesting thing. It was at about 2 in the morning and my entire family was awake. We didn't fight it, just did some things and then at about 5 am went back to sleep. My plan was to be at the Louvre by 8:30 am....but we ended up all sleeping until 9:30. So change of plans....we went on a boat tour of the Seine, wandered through Notre Dame, visited Centre Pompidou, and the boys had their first french ice cream. C'est ci bon.
I had told the boys that my first time at Notre Dame I had lit a candle and prayed for peace in the world. The boys each wanted to say a prayer, too, and so we bought candles and lit them and held hands to pray. Sean prayed his "normal" prayer, thanking God for everything....and then he shyly added , "and we pray for Peace."
World peace....hard to imagine. How might this ever be? Is it too much to pray for? Yet, what a travesty if we do not pray and then act for peace.
May the God of peace be with you all.

I can't believe that leg 2 of your sabbatical has started. It seems like you should still be in WA. Glad to hear that all is well. Looking forward to more of your updates.
