Les cousins dansent

Un petit video, avant de mettre toutes les photos de notre visite en France... (woo! j'en ai, du travail!)

A little video, before putting all the photos from our France trip... (woa! I have sooo much work to do!)

Les cousins

The cousins

Evan est tellement content de retrouver Clement, son cher cousin. Ils s'amusent beaucoup ensemble. Des qu'il se reveille, Evan demande "Clement! Evan see Clement!"

Evan is so happy to see his dear cousin Clement again. They are having so much fun together. Right when Evan wakes up, the first thing he says is "Clement! Evan see Clement!"

On leur a achete les meme pyjamas--j'ai trouve ca trop mignon...
We got them the same pyjamas--I thought it was too cute...
Et bien sur, il y a le bain ensemble...
And of course, there's bathtime together...
Et la petite chocolatine ensemble...
And a little chocolatine (chocolate croissant) together...
Tout se passe tres bien. Le decalage horaire n'etait pas trop dur, et on avait le temps de se reposer. Evan parle de plus en plus en francais, sauf qu'il a des phrases qu'il dit toujours en anglais ("no more!" "Evan see doctor!" -quand il a un bobo).

Everything's going very well. The jetlag was not too bad, and we had time to rest. Evan is speaking more and more French, except for some phrases he always says in English ("no more!" "Evan see doctor!" -which he says when he has a booboo).

"Spring" cleaning

Nettoyage de "printemps"

After several months, Jean-Robert finally pushed me to clean/organize the garage. I was daunted, overwhelmed, but it actually wasn't too bad--mostly because, of course JR helped me a lot. Also a lot of the stuff in there was stuff we were planning on donating. And, by the way, I say "spring" cleaning because although it's winter, it was in the mid-70s.

Apres plusiers mois, Jean-Robert m'a enfin pousser pour organiser le garage. J'avais peur, j'etais bouleversee, mais en fait ce n'etait pas aussi grave que je pensais--bien sur, parce que Jean-Robert m'a beaucoup aide. Aussi, beaucoup des choses au garage etait les choses a donner. Et, je dis nettoyage de "printemps" parce que, meme si c'est l'hiver, il faisait 23-24.

I don't have a "before" photo, but many of you have seen it. For the rest, imagine tons of plastic garbage bags everywhere... You couldn't even see the ground!

Je n'ai pas de photos du garage avant, mais plusiers de vous l'ont vu. Pour les autres, imaginez des tonnes de sacs en plastique partout... On ne voyait pas le sol!
Next step... Going through all the baby stuff (in the far corner of garage, near high chair) to see what baby clothes/stuff to throw away, donate, or keep. I have a feeling most of it we'll be keeping. ;)

Prochain etape... fouiller dans les choses de bebe (au coin du garage, pres de la chaise haute) pour voir quelles choses on va jeter, donner, ou garder. Je pense qu'on va presque tout garde. ;)

And how would this post be complete without some Evan pics? Here he is drinking his "cafe" (it's actually a decaf chocolate mocha he shared with Mommy), and dipping a cookie in it.

Et comment je peux faire un blog sans des photos d'Evan? Le voila en train de boire le "cafe" (en fait c'est un decaf "mocha"--chocolat chaud avec un decaf dedans), et il trempe un gateau dedans.
