Finally, an update!

Has it really been almost two months?

Clara and Gwendolyne have now jetted off for the summer with their French grandmother and are enjoying the sunshine of southern France. They'll also attend summer camp and visit their extended family.

Their absence also allows us to start painting and carpeting the house for our eventual tenants; we've also pushed back our move-out to the end of August.

We've had some parental time together, such as attending the Nationals' 4-3 victory last night over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, on a walk-off home run by Nick Johnson. Could a movie be in our future (gasp)?
