bikini season

When I took this picture a few days ago, I remembered that I had taken the same one last year or the year before.

good bye Meme Frida

Last Saturday Meme was flying back home. Rachel was upset and wanted her to stay.
We enjoyed having her with us (minus one moment of tension), the girls love her and so do we.

Since our last trip to Belgium where Rachel met again with her 3-year old cousin and with the girlfirend of her dad, she asks questions...

Depuis notre voyage en Belgique ou Rachel a retrouve sa cousine et a rencontre la nouvelle copine du papa, elle me pose bcp de questions:


R Mom, has Lidie's dad quarreled with his wife?
- what makes you say that?
R because he is never there when I go to the daycare
- non ma cherie. He is at work, he needs to leave early and comes back late like papa. That's why you do not see him.
R Ah, ok



R mom, do yo hate me?
- ma cherie, no... I love you and will always love you. Even when you make big booboos, we will always love you very much. Maman t'aime beaucoup et papa et Natalie aussi.



R When I am bigger I will quarrel with you
- what? why do you say that?
R Because I will not live with you anymore
