Try Part 2, 3 & 4, too. I think there is a different print for each part...I can't recall who the artist is, or I would have given credit. I hope this works for you.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-32523980053363763242009-03-29T08:36:00.000-07:002009-03-29T08:36:00.000-07:00I hope he has a wonderful timeI adore the Parisian...I hope he has a wonderful time<BR/><BR/>I adore the Parisian print but cant find it on the design sponge site.

I went to Europe with People to People for 5 weeks when I was 17, and it changed my life. I LOVED the experience, and both Gregg and I love traveling in Europe. I also spent a quarter in England while I was a college student; loved that, too. We have always wanted to share that love with our kids, and this opportunity was too good to pass up (even in these tight economic times). He's only going to be young once, and we want to do the best we can for him!Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-29395713389123764082009-03-26T09:01:00.000-07:002009-03-26T09:01:00.000-07:00How awesome that David actually has a family conne...How awesome that David actually has a family connection to the language he's studying, as opposed to many students who simply choose a language to satisfy a requirement. Here's hoping that his trip to France will be an exciting prelude to spur him on to more international trips. Perhaps next time you both can go to France together and you can flex your own French-speaking muscles.<BR/><BR/>On a related note, it's inspiring to me that you and Gregg really hear and respect your children's desires (for example, you both respected Katie's wishes to have a "party!" at her Celebration -- to the point of overriding your own wishes to play Eva Cassidy's rendition of "Over the Rainbow") and that you give them so much encouragement to spread their wings and fly. It must be difficult to see David leave, and yet you encourage him to go, knowing it's best for him. I know quite a few parents -- my own included -- who were/are so desirous of keeping their children, even high school-aged children, close to them that they clip the wings of their children as much as they can. <BR/><BR/>Hope David has a wonderful time and that you do too!<BR/><BR/>JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-89388365264125483182009-03-26T07:54:00.000-07:002009-03-26T07:54:00.000-07:00Wishing him a wonderful time in France!
