Last weekend, the four of us went to the nearby outdoor pool to beat the heat. It was the first time Jude had been down the waterslide there, and he was hooked. I think he spent at least an hour there with Dan. Meanwhile Carys was enjoying the shallow pools meant for less risk taking [...]

WOW, I just realized as I signed in to blog, that I have written 900 posts not including this one. That’s a lot of writing over the last 4.5 years. I think my weekly average has probably shifted significantly in the last four months, from once or twice weekly, to nearly every day! AND with [...]

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* [...]

Don’t ask me where the title of these posts come from. I think it’s my outward expression of mental chaos. Anyways… Here are a handful of pictures also taken from Sunday night. Apparently this is the result of not taking so many pictures lately; a surplus of pictures from one event in our lives. I [...]

I grabbed this shot while on our Sunday evening walk this past weekend. Yup, I got a few pictures from that nice evening that will eventually make their way up here. I need to find more time though…and since that’s always in short supply these day, those pictures will have to wait. Dan left us [...]

Wow, when the weather decides to turn nice, it doesn’t joke around. It’s been low-mid 30′s here in our part of France, and the humidity has been ridiculously high (last I saw it was around 90%). I’m not used to this type of humidity, and the afternoon thunderstorms that roll over the mountains. But don’t [...]

Dear Carys, What happened? Suddenly you’re 10 months old! I am in disbelief that you’ve grown and changed so quickly right before my eyes. You’re 10 months old!! Next thing I know you’re going to be 10 years old! Since it seems I’ve neglected to write to you directly on this ol’ bloggeroni, I’m going [...]
