Sunday with My Girls
March 11, 2012
The boys are in the mountains today skiing. We girls are at home. I don't mean to be sexist here but the truth is sometimes the girls slow the boys down. (Sometimes we kick their butts too, like Celine's dogged determination on our backpacking trip last summer.) And though our ...
The Boy Turns 11
March 5, 2012
Laurent's birthday this year (last weekend, right before the kids got sick) was fairly low-key. Part of that is being new to a place so there isn't a long list of friends to invite. Part of it is that Laurent is just a really easy going guy and generally easy ...

January 19, 2012
