From San Diego, California to France. Life is thrusting forward.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
Ok, we were bored and decided to torture Mathieu last weekend. How better to torture him than to take him skiing for the first time. He actually really enjoyed it. Except he wouldn't let momma let go.
Look Mom I am really excited!!! Mom looks just as excited.
We went down to Sète last weekend for Easter to escape to cold of Lyon. Séte is located in the south of France, on the Mediterranean, close to Montpellier. It is a beautiful little seaside town with long boardwalks and sandy beaches. Valerie’s cousin’s daughter was nice enough to give up her apartment for the weekend.
Mathieu did his first Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Of course, with the age range being from 3-8 Mathieu didn’t have much luck finding eggs. However, we came prepared. We brought chocolate eggs and hid them as we went so Mathieu could experience the sensation of finding eggs. He loved it!!!
Mahé, Mathieu’s semi cousin came over on Saturday and they both had a lot of fun playing together. I say semi cousin since it the boy of one of Valerie’s cousin’s daughters. He is the same age as Mathieu though.
On another note, Mathieu moved into a big boy bed. We got him new beds for grandpa’s house and our home. The transition was simple and he is really happy being in his new gigantic beds. I have added a couple of pics for entertainment.
Ahhh, the pleasure of discovering chocolate eggs on the ground.
We are a Franco-American couple living in Lyon, France with our son Mathieu. John originally from California and Valerie is originally from Haute Savoie in the Alps.This blog is written from the perpective of John.
