Cousins' zoo adventures

Cousins' animals aventures at the zoo can sometimes be scary for little ones... Annabelle enjoyed seeying animals with Adeline... but this scary monkey was a little too intimidating... Thankfully, the other monkeys were alot cuter!

Wake up, Pepere..it's your party!!!

The whole family celebrated my dad's 80th birthday party... Unfortunately, the guest of honor had other plans... The kids anxiously waited for Pepere to wake up so that they could get some of that yummy cake. I love Annabelle's exressions... you know that she can't wait to get the party started.... as for Yannik... a toothless grin says it all ;0)

Our little monkey

Picture speaks for itself ;0))

Daddy's Girl

Gentle moments....I love how Annabelle has her hand on Sven's leg....such a sweet gesture from a little girl who used to be afraid of men. She has really turned into a Daddy's girl... and mom couldn't be happier!

"Nana" celebrates her first Canada Day!!!

We've decoded another word: Nana - translation: Anna!!! I just thought she kept pointing at her chest and saying no ;0)) What ignorant parents you have, Anna! Yes, Nana...you are a proud Canadian now.. waving the flag, but more importantly, ....hmmm..what are those lovely chocolate muffins I see? I must partake in these crazy Canuk activities!!!

Our little "French" fashionista

Merci Tantie Yael.... my special outfit from Paris FINALLY fits me... I must be growing though I tell Maman that I am just a baby, not a big girl ;0))


Contrary to most kids, Anna desperately wants to remain a baby....probably because she wants to regain some of the precious baby moments with Maman and Papa. She proudly points to herself as says bebe, then Maman et Papa. I tell her big girl and she responds..nah.....bebe! She knows her place in the family! Don't worry... big or small, you'll alway remain our little one, Anna. If you want to remain "little" for the time being, we will certainly indugle. I don't blame you one bit!!! We want to hold on to those precious baby moments too... (well, perhaps except the diaper changing ;0)))

First outing of the summer holidays

School is out for Yannik!!!! We celebrated by going for a day trip to the coast... smelling that nice sea air, indulging in a few treats... and yes, meeting a very friendly crustacean.
