How funny though- C'est un petit monde francophone ici dans le Colorado, n'est-ce pas? <br /><Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860391904567692158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-19770998212096111792010-02-14T12:02:46.508-07:002010-02-14T12:02:46.508-07:00Hi Sarah!

But I never contacted you and once my baby was born things were a little crazy :-) and I think you took a break from the blog for a while. Anyway, glad I finally met you and wanted to let you know you are inspiring me to step up my Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512911611832034890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-87499161452989149722010-01-28T07:03:16.851-07:002010-01-28T07:03:16.851-07:00Playgroups have been hit or miss for us, too, and ...Playgroups have been hit or miss for us, too, and frankly, probably more miss than hit.... <br /><br />On the bright side, friendships have grown out of our involvement, so even if the groups don't do much these days, we've made friends with a couple of the participants and frequently meet privately.<br /><br />If you start up your own thing, I'd recommend you figure out what your smashedpeahttp://intrepidlybilingual.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-9057838672864371922010-01-24T14:47:49.738-07:002010-01-24T14:47:49.738-07:00I tried to get into a playgroup through the local ...I tried to get into a playgroup through the local German club for nearly a year. I finally got the chance to go to one once and it was good.
