New Friends

We have been blessed to make some new American friends! One of my friends from college noticed my posts on Facebook and messaged me to tell me that she had friends also living in Paris. We exchanged info and on Thursday, Eden and I went on our first "solo" Metro ride to the suburbs to visit them at their apartment. They have lived here since October and have a little girl and a little boy.
We have had so much fun! It has been nice to have someone who has lived here a bit and understands some of the frustrations of living in a foreign country. My new friend is also a speech pathologist (which is awesome!!!), and they are also doing schooling at home with their daughter--what are the odds? We all hit it off!! So on Friday we got together again, then the husbands joined us and we all went to dinner. We met up again on Saturday to go to Notre Dame and then the library. They knew of a good Mexican restaurant, so we all went to dinner for a second night in a row!! (The Mexican food was really good-- for France)

Here are some pictures of the girls:
