Provence

Once again we are going back to the roots (at least for myself, though I am pretty much uprooted nowadays) that is the South of France.

6 weeks running around in the fields of sunflowers and lavender while Jake who spent about 10 days with us is called back to the Great Northwest to pack and move our stuff to our next abode, somewhere lost in the pit of Redmond (I do not like Redmond).

Liam had a fun time, splashing in the pool with his Uncle, and even his Mamie and Papi gave it a go!

We also had the visit of Sophie (Liam’s friend from the french school from back home) and his French friend Charlotte came and stayed with us for a couple of days as well.

And when we were not swimming we were lounging around, because that is what a vacation is for after all!

Of course we also had to watch the world cup (with France going to final! but how deceived were we all with the end of the game and Zidane’s action).

Of course we also got to prepare and enjoy great food, visit places and enjoy time with friends and family.

Thank you to Marianne and Jacques for having us over once again this year!
