5-2013 Old Garden, New Garden

When we first moved in we had a rock garden. 

After buying dirt and planting seed, we finally have grass. Yahoo! Matt mowed it today for the first time.

Seni is so happy!

4-2013 Springtime

Love, Love the Springtime!

Easter Break

During the Easter break we decided to head up to Germany to visit with my sister and her family. On our way up we stopped in Dijon, France for lunch, before spending the night and day in Luxembourg. After visiting these two places, we then managed to get to Germany.

Dijon, France. I was very impressed with this town. Very clean and loved the many cathedrals.

Ah, yes!....la moutarde-- (dijon)--the best fabricator!

Luxembourg---very beautiful city!

More pictures of this town/country.

Dying eggs for Easter and enjoying a nice bath!

The "hunt" in very cold weather (2 degrees Celsius)

Thanks to cousin, Laja and her amazing Matzo ball soup!--She rocks!

The cousins hanging out watching a movie...so cute!

That was the end of our adventure!

What have we been up to?

It's been a couple of weeks since I've updated our blog. This is what we've been up to...

Over the February break, we went sledding with Seni' friend at Ancelle. She absolutely LOVES playing (eating) the snow!

My "mini" me! She is so funny!

Daddy daughter date night at McDonald's.

My dad came into town for a visit. We spent a few days with mamie et papi near the coast.

LOVE the mimosa in Bormes les Mimosas!

Went to Nice for the weekend. I love the picture of the biker with three baguettes in his water pouches. Very clever!

More.... La Foux d'Allos

We couldn't get enough the first time, so we decided to head up the mountains again nearby us. This time to La Foux d'Allos with another set of buddies! They insisted this was the greatest place for children attending ski school. We took their word for it and headed up for the day.

Seneca rocked it! She loved her ski class....we were so glad! Go Seni! And....La Foux d'Allos was a beautiful moutain! Thanks buddies!

Saint Sorlin d'Arves

Just after Christmas we quickly headed to the mountains; Saint Sorlin d'Arves with some friends! This place was just breathtaking.

From the moment we got there, Seneca's face was always in the snow! The girl loves to eat that stuff! I had to quickly educate her on the difference between yellow and white snow after noticing her head in a pile of yellow snow--yuck! 

The bottom middle picture was a picture of our lodging. We were in a 1.5 bedroom apartment. It was a great set up for our families; although the bar just below was a bit tough for sleeping...he..he!

It was a great trip...thanks, friends!

Christmas Celebration!

For Christmas Eve, we re-enacted the story of the birth of Jesus. Seneca LOVES to play Mary. So, here she is "with child" in her tummy while I was chosen to be her donkey and dad was Joseph.

The other pictures were of Christmas morning.

We hope you enjoyed your Christmas too!!

Love, Us!
