France - encore!

The Weber-Fergusons triumphantly returned to St. Siméon for a well-deserved break!
We lucked out, getting the largest apartment of the compound, with some fabulous views from our 3 (!) balconiesof the Brie region
yes, Brie, as in...cheeses!
and grapesand tasty pastriesthe daily entertainment: cows parading up and down the hill, to Emile and Céline's great delight (and - thankfully - they didn't moo...)all this French goodness turned Emile's hair blond and curlyand Céline started walking!the ultimate in naughty spots...
in the beautiful medieval town of Provins.
Back at home moms and their kitchen aides cook up a storm
you can use those boomerings for everything...
No visit to France is complete without a petit visite au marché
and a déjeuner of crêpes on the grande place
and a box full of delicacies from the local fromagerie
i.e. beer and cheese!

The earthly pleasures were also tended to: our daily sandbox action
tickles on chubby tummiespapa and son went head to head out on the tennis court
we had a few relaxing walks...
(relaxing for some, that is...)
less so for the ones carrying the cute little 10 kg burden!
And of course, how could we forget...
holiday=swimming

C'est tout!

Whilst the standard of photography was always good, it seems like the new camera has inspired you both! Lovely photos of the kids as well as some smashing landscapes. Keep it up!
