Epiphany - Better Late Than Never!

We celebrated Epiphany a couple of weeks ago in our usual French manner - not really caring much about the religious significance of the holiday - just enjoying eating something yummy! I made the traditional Galette des Rois and we put a bean in it this year since we couldn't find, and didn't really feel like looking for, the little baby figurine we usually use. I ended up getting the piece with the fève and was crowned Queen for the evening with the lovely crown that Amélie had constructed that afternoon. Epiphany is definitely one of my favorites. Easy, simple, fun and delicious cake!

Stay tuned for photos from our California trip. They are way overdue and I apologize for that.

A beautiful sunny November day

Amélie got out of school early today and we spent the afternoon on our porch in the magnificent sunlight. We read, almost napped (me, not Amélie), took photos of each other and traded glasses. Below is Amélie's photo of me.




Happy gobble gobble day eve!

Happy Halloween Eve!

We started out the day as Ms. Amelia Earhart for Historical Halloween at school. Amélie did an amazing job reading her report!


And ended the afternoon as a 49er cheerleader! I really do have such a versatile daughter. She can pull anything off and always looks adorable.

Fall is finally here (for a moment at least)

Amélie's b-day thank you card

Here is the thank you card we will be sending out shortly for all of Amélie's wonderful birthday gifts.

New Photo Card plus Amélie turns 7 next week!

Here is a new card design I came up with last night. I think that it could be cute as a birth announcement or even some sort of invitation or just a nice general update card to send family and friends. I could always put a smaller or vertical photo in to one side and then put writing on the other side. I put Amélie in there in honor of my baby turning 7 in one week. I can not believe that she is so big. I am sure I will be posting photos after the festivities. Hope you enjoy this new creation and pass it on to anyone who might be interested.
