Welcome to the Violleau's

End of April, a small circus stopped in our town. It was a great opportunity for Julie and Anna to spend some quality time with their daddy. April was also high time to start planting in our new vegetable garden. There was enough work for the whole family!   We're delighted to see how God is already rewarding our hard work. During a weekend at Papy and Mamie's, we continued our gardening training on a larger scale!   Julie and Anna are always delighted to contribute to outdoors tasks, and even more to make the most of Papy and Mamie's swing.   We enjoy seeing sisterly love grow in our home! We're grateful for the May bank holidays that gave us time for family outings. We discovered a new indoor playground. A first for Claire who seemed to enjoy it! We also managed to spend an afternoon on the coast, which happens too rarely. The sun was radiant! In May, David spent a week near Paris for a time of planning with all of Agapé France's operations departments, who work b

Greetings from us all! We're alive and well :-) Claire continues to grow and delights us with her smiles.   Claire likes stories, just like her big sisters. In the meantime, David spent a few days at Agapé France's National Staff Conference end of February. The programme included great teaching on the book of Job by Pastor Emile Nicole... ... praying for France in a creative way... ... and fixing other staff members' computers. After that we were blessed to be able to go on holiday as a family in march for some rest. We drove across France to spend a few days in Lyon with Carolyn's family where we had brilliant weather. Julie and Anna enjoyed a poney-ride.   Then we met up with friends in the Alps where we enjoyed the fresh mountain air and more quality time as a family. Back home, there was no time to lose as the flyer for the "Move Your City" event had to be finished within a few days.  And without any warning, Spring was upon us and the flowers around our h

Going back a bit to November... We celebrated Carolyn's birthday as a family...    ... by eating unusual fruit pots to say the least...   ... and a delicious chocolate cake of course! In December, David helped with the sound system for a PULSE evening for young people in Brittany, with worship, teaching and prayer . In December also, our Church organized a Christmas afternoon tea with songs and sketches prepared by the children, and some adults too. Anna played the role of a shepherd with her little sheep.   The Sunday school classes excelled in singing an African Christmas song. Christmas was also the opportunity for us to host a Christmas breakfast for the Agapé Rennes team. And the whole family enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree with its golden star at the top. We all dressed up and joined friends to celebrate the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014. As soon as those festivities were over, it was time to celebrate Anna's 4th birthday on 5th January.   Then hardly time to ca
