And a cherry tree...

Mornings

Changing the world, one pastis at a time

Never forget to play

The simple life

Being back in France, how easy everything seems - despite a sick little Olive, poor little girl. We've been indulging in all of the many, simple wondeful things that life offers here. Like harvesting big red raspberries in the bushes and eating them by the handful while we're at it.

Like eating French bread at my grand-mother's old farm, and picking more roses than all of the vases we own can possibly hold. And when we decide we have enough of them, just stop and smell the sweet air around them.

Like taking care of little puppies, hugging them tight all over my auntie's yard, and looking at Madeline get mad at them because they tried to chew off her little red shoes.

And stuffing ourselves with more raspberries while our papou takes care of his bees, only to see him bring us some fresh honey to dipp our fingers in. Seriously, how much better does life really get?

The roses from our wedding arch

They have grown quite a bit in the past 4 years, and they are beautiful. Just like our little family.

Goodbye New York

Dear New York,

You've been good to us, but it's time to for us to move on. It's not you really, it's us. We'll be back to visit, but now it time for a new adventure to begin. Until we meet again, NYC.

baby you are fireworks

On a rainy evening

Between tropical rain showers, we went out for a little walk. Madeline tried to make the water on the leaves fall on her head...and on daddy's. Silly, lovely little girl she is. And how much she loves her daddy.
