Taking a break on the side of the road...





 We are proud to present the very first photo that Sebastian has ever taken without the help of Mom and Dad. Can you guess which one? Not too bad.

Our little house in Chenedouit...



We still can't believe it's ours!


 Some views of the place. We made it thru our first night without getting scampered on by any mice or bitten by any of the HUGE country spiders who are squating our place rent free. (We did however almost drive over a badger.)






The cows grazing on the other side of our property under their apple trees. (taureau=bull)  

 And a bit further down the road their friends the chickens and turkeys.















New arrival




Stephane's newest cousin Zoe...3 months old and already almost the size of a loaf of bread here in France.

Our hostess ...gracious and ever so lovely Carih and host/grillman extraordinaire Alain.

My new kite....








is the coolest thing since sliced bread...velcro...and indoor plumbing all put together. I had a really, really good time at the beach today!

Clowning around...

I'd say it's a three way tie as to who had the most fun chasing the tail of our kite...
 you be the judge.
(Don't be fooled by our hats and scarves...it's July here as well!)

S(w)inging party...



It's official. My first year of school is under my belt.  Another notch on the old paddle....here we are singing some of the songs we learned over the year. We rounded out the afternoon with some cake that we made that morning. (note from mom - sorry, no sound and neither clip is that great, but what the heck, he's soo cute I couldn't refuse.)

monday, tuesday, wednesday...



I love my new english calendar we stumbled upon at a flea market...now I just have to figure out what all of these words mean...to be continued....

la fete de la musique





To ring in the first day of summer, we showed off our fancy footsteps and debuted the "elbow slide" which is currently "world famous in France".
