Well, we made it to France! Travel was uneventful, and Caden had fun sleeping through most of both flights. Oh wait, that was US who had fun with Caden sleeping through both flights!
Despite all of the sleep, little Cade was still tuckered out. Here he is crashed at our hotel room in Paris, sprawled on the bed like he just passed out from a long night of drinking.
We are now in Albertville, where our language school is. We would love to describe how beautiful it is here, nestled in a valley of the French Alps, but we will instead post some pictures tomorrow and let them do the talking. Words are useless to describe this portion of God's creation!

ok, before the Grandma's freak out and write Grandmaesque posts, the drinking thing was a joke. go ahead and laugh! seriously though, Caden wasn't drunk. he only drinks on the weekends, and NEVER while traveling...
All people in France drink. Your explanation to the grammas needs to include that.
We will be praying for your Francais adjustment! Tres Bien! Study hard.
Also, I have my own view every morning of Pikes Peak. Just FYI.
ahhhhhhhhhhh...I can't believe you are in FRANCE. I am so proud of you guys and the committment you have made to serve God through ministering to the people in Africa. You are really doing it! You are MAJORLY in my thoughts and prayers. I hope each of you begin adjusting and that you don't turn to the "bottle" like Caden evidently does. I love you guys. Molly
I have howled with laughter through all the posts. =-)
I 'm so glad that you made it there safely. We love and miss you tons already. I'm looking forward to more pictures and a phone call-hint, hint. =-)
Love you dearly,
Nanna
Praise the Lord that you arrived safely and that Caden made the trip without much difficulty. That long on a plane can be NOT fun for a little one. You're in our thoughts and prayers! Love you all!
Dear Sweet Kids,
Hearing your voice on the phone today was WONDERFUL!!!!! We are so happy you are where you are supposed to be right now and so happy that we could fit our hearts back into our bodies after they fell out at the airport (I know it's a little dramatic but that's your Mom :)) We love you up to God and back! Mom and Dad ps special hugs to Mr. Smiley! :)
Here's info on a church there, in case you need it: http://www.bible-infonet.org/FF/churches_of_christ/France/
Praise God! You guys are living the life that God has called each of us to. I know that missionary work abroad isn't for everyone, but you guys are an inspiriation!
Sonya and I are definitely keeping you 3 in our prayers. We love you and miss you a ton.
I'm gonna drink to the Emersons...this milk's for you. I've also poured a little out for my homie, Cade. Cheers!
Emersons,
We are soooooo glad that you made it safely, and uneventfully! You are in our prayers, as a family through this transition and in your language studies, we remember vividly how much of a challenge it was being in a new place, with a little one, trying to learn the language and stay connected to one another and our God. So you are in our prayers, that God will move in mighty ways in your lives' right now! God bless!
