March - May 2015 in pictures

Apart from a few aches and pains from time to time, everyone is doing well at home.

The girls continue to grow, especially Claire who changes every week. She now eats like us (sometimes more!) 

She is learning to read with her older sister :-)

And she would even like to know how to write already!

Her older sisters take good care of her.

Claire also makes us laugh a lot.

But she still remains our little baby.

In April, we enjoyed visiting some of our friends and ministry partners in Lyon. And took the opportunity to have a few days holiday at Carolyn's parents'.

On the agenda, a little bit of shopping...

... lots of stairs to climb down...

... beautiful walks in the forest ...

... discovering or rediscovering the centre of Lyon in the sunshine ...

... and especially lots of family laughter and games!

One outing which we won't forget in a hurry was to the tree-climbing park on the Yzeron Plateau. Just look at Julie's radiant face!

Julie and Anna were so brave and impressively agile at the top of these high pine-trees.

Great memories in beautiful surroundings. Thank you Grandma and Grandad!

In May, we made the most of the long weekends to do a bit of DIY. The new swing in our garden was worth the effort since the girls delight in it almost every day.

We also discovered the "Pink Granite Coast" in the North of Brittany with some friends. Another master piece of our wonderful Creator!

End of May, we all dressed up to celebrate one of David's cousins' wedding in the Vendée.

It was a great opportunity to catch up with David's parents... and all the farm animals.

On our return home, we made a trip to our vegetable garden which has been a bit neglected this year due to lack of time. The whole family set to work to pick the radishes which had continued to grow in our absence.

Just like everyone else, we also have our daily challenges but those are not on the photos. What we choose to keep are the lovely memories for which we want to thank the Lord. He has blessed us in many ways in the past two months!
