Glad to hear school is going well. You're a pretty sharp fellow, and though the French is hard, I have no doubt you'll pick it up quickly. There's no better way to learn a language than to be immersed in it.

Had you told me you had such a little one in your home? I don't recall. That's cute. How old is the little guy? I don't know if I've ever asked, but how many kids are in your family? Where do you fall in line? My parents had 8 and I'm number 7. We have 4, but this will have to be it for us, as I think I've mentioned to you before.
