I’m not sure if I’ll jinx this and make things worse, I’m hoping for my sanity’s sake that superstition is just an illusion at this moment. Yesterday, Dan realized that one of the hard drives that hosts my blog among other important things (like photos etc) had started to fail. Fortunately he’s been able to [...]

So it’s official. Dan was successful at his most recent job interview and was offered a Staff position at CERN. This means that we’re going to stay here in France for another 2.5 years!

It’s a little late for this entry, but better than never. Here are a few pictures from the Garderie’s Kermesse (aka end of year fun day). It happened to coincide with Canada Day, thus the matching red shirts on the kids, and yes, I was wearing red too! The picture above is of Jude balancing [...]

So it’s that time of the year again. The Tour de France is racing around the country and we made our second annual trek to watch the action. This year the tour came much closer to our house, just on the other side of the Jura mountains. We packed up the kids, brought some water* [...]
