A Lady In France

This Is My Life

You’ve heard about how superior French mothers are, right? Well I’m addressing that over at World Moms Blog. Just how superior they all are, and how superior I am by association.

Okay, joking aside, I do have a few pictures to show you, even though I’m sending you over here to read what I wrote. I’m hoping you won’t mind getting the double whammy of two posts in one. (Since it’s just pictures and all).

Well I know my folks’ll appreciate ’em anyway.

The prunus trees are blossoming all along the street.

Petit Prince has started to say "rigole, rigole" (joking, joking).

I lost a tooth. Two, actually. Swallowed 'em.

Young Knight in multi-sports. We think there might be a future in rugby. He likes to tackle.

Petit Prince is too young for multi-sports and has to be dragged out kicking and screaming each week. Without fail.

The sun on these sweet-smelling things, whatever they are again.

The sun on this sweet-smelling thing too. Hey soul sista!

Talking about the minute of silence for the shooting at the Jewish school.

I go out.

I go in.

And this is FIRST-year solfège (music theory).

The sun, oh the sun ... lighting up my days.

Sir in work boots. (Thumpity-thump go his boots. And my heart).

I am seriously hard at work here. With my shoes on the wrong foot.

Baked cauliflower and potato purée. Kids are not fooled by the heart shape.

You know, sometimes everything - just everything is perfect in the world.

“He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.”

Ecclesiastes 5:20

    Usually the most wonderful memories are found in the mundane, everyday things. It looks like you all made some wonderful memories on that day.
    Be well.

    Great photos. (Thanks also for the front yard picture, to refresh my memory.)
    The “sweet smelling thing” is a hyacinth The one that is not Young Lady.

    Lovely pics! And, great article.

    My kid swallowed her tooth, too! And, I’ve only used those heart pans for cake. I never even thought to put other food in them — great idea!

    Thanks again, for writing with us!

    Jen 🙂
