Bibi 4 arrive!

Karen est sous oxytocine pour provoquer l'accouchement.

Les medecins ont pris la decision a midi. Le petit commence a se sentir un peu a l'etroit donc il vaut mieux qu'il sorte...

Karen dort. Moi, je fais les cents pas, je me mords le doigts...

Bises a tous.

Karen is under oxytocin to include labor.
The doctors took the decision around lunch today. Baby is feeling a little squeezed in there.

Karen is asleep. I am walking around eating my fingers...

Redactrice au lit

Karen est au lit a l'hopital depuis samedi denier. Le travail avait commence mais tout est "calme" depuis lundi matin. Bebe a 34 semaines aujourd'hui, date importante.
Karen va bien. Vous pouvez aller la "voir" sur Facebook.

Bises a tous!

Karen is in bed at the hospital since last Saturday. Labor had started but everything has been "quiet" since Monday morning. Baby is 34 weeks today, important milestone.
Karen is good. You can go say hi on Facebook.

Take care!

Easter

Samedi on est alle au parc, ou il y avait des animaux de la ferme et un "Easter egg hunt".
Saturday we went to the park, where there were farm animals (petting zoo) and an Easter egg hunt.

Evan et Papa caressent un poulet...
Evan and Papa pet a chicken...
Evan et Papa caressent un petit agneau (qui n'avait que 7 semaines!)...
Evan and Papa pet a baby lamb (who was only 7 weeks old!)...
Evan et Akhil strike a pose...
Comme Evan n'a pas trouve des oeux au "Easter egg hunt" (tous les oeux etaient partis en 30 secondes, il y avait trop de monde!), il a couru apres les canards. C'est beaucoup plus marrant!

Since Evan didn't find any eggs during the hunt (all the eggs were gone in 30 seconds, there were WAY too many people!), he chased the ducks. That's much more fun!
Alors on a fait notre propre "Easter egg hunt" a la maison, le dimanche...
So we did our own Easter egg hunt at home, on Sunday...
Papa a beaucoup travaille (encore!) dans le jardin (remarquez les fleurs), et il a plante les tomates...
Papa worked a lot (again!) in the garden (notice all the flowers), and he planted the tomatos...
Evan voulait mettre son nouveau caske pour faire la moto...
Evan wanted to put on his new helmet for riding his motorcycle...
OK, pour montrer comment j'ai le ventre enorme (je ne crois pas que je mets ca)...
OK, to show how humungus my belly is (I can't believe I'm posting this)...

Lady Bugs!

Coccinelles!

Comme j'ai dis dans le dernier post, c'etait l'evenement du weekend, la liberation des coccinelles...
As I said in the last post, it was the event of the weekend--the freeing of the lady bugs...

Papa travaille

Daddy's working

...dans le jardin! Evan aime "aider" son Papa--ca veut dire qu'il joue avec la balais ou des outils de jardinage. L'evenement de ce soir, c'est la liberation des coccinelles dans le jardin, ce qu'Evan attend depuis ce matin (et les coccinelles aussi, les pauvres sont toutes coincees dans une petite boite en plastique).

...in the gardin, that is! Evan loves to "help" his Papa--that means he plays with the broom or with garden tools. The event of this evening is the freeing of the lady bugs in the garden, which Evan's been waiting for since this morning (the lady bugs too, I'm sure, the poor things are trapped in a small plastic container).
Evan me donne une fleur ("Evan donne fleur Maman..." il dit.)
Evan gives me a flower ("Evan gives flower Mommy..." he says.)

Les weekends de jacuzzi commencent!

Jacuzzi weekends begin!

Le weekend dernier, on a fait beaucoup de jacuzzi. On a meme nage dans la piscine, qui etait a 26 degres! On etait dehors tout le weekend (comme ce weekend aussi...)

Last weekend, we went in the jacuzzi a lot. We even went swimming in the pool, which got to 80 degrees! We were outside all weekend (like this weekend too)...Papa est en train de refaire le jardin pour l'ete. Il travaille beaucoup, mais il l'adore! Voici juste un aperçu...
Papa is in the process of doing the garden for the summer. He's working a lot, but he loves it! Here's a glimpse...
Mmm, les fraises...
Mmm, strawberries...
