A blog about our family.

It used to be, Eyquem would almost draw nothing, which balanced the situation with Gadea, for whose drawings one needs close to a room and a half. Eyquem would justify the situation by stating that Gadea was too good, and he couldn’t draw as well. The situation has changed, and, well, we are running in…

We had to prepare these cards, which are being sent I don’t know where tomorrow…after Gadea pencils in the last of her wishes. Eyquem drew StNicolas, papa, and himself (and wants so playmobil veterinary) Gadea drew Saint Nicolas and some doll and some bearded helper, a donkey, and some gifts. And she wants some playmobil…

We had quite a week, what with the ensai forum and other time consumign things at work. We also had some good fun. It all started Sunday, when we prepared pot au feu, what Anthony Bourdain qualifies as  food to make a frenchman cry or “soul food for socialists“ We got some fun pencils and…

On a nice and cool Sunday we headed out from home. The mission: check out those cows Samuel always talks about when coming back from work by bike. Status: accomplished.

A España!

Departure time is very late for the kids (10:39) so the traditional on flight movie is not a possibility. So we came early at the airport to watch a movie before boarding.  By chance, we met Sao, an old friend of daycare of Gadea, together with his parents Bic and Fabrice. And we had a…

A last picture in front of our good old front porch. And the kids say adios to Montreal. 

On Friday, I went early to pick up Eyquem at daycare. We left with three strawberry pies and last hugs. Then went to see Gadea’s show which we enjoyed a lot. On the way back we ate the strawberry pies and I dropped Gadea at a birthday pajama party, and went to eat then drop…
