Welcome to the Violleau's

Claire is growing fast. She is already learning how to read... ... and to pray :-) The joys of a family walk along the canal near our home. Claire likes touring the house on all fours. It's up to us to watch the cupboards... and the bins! Anna likes taking care of her little sister. One year older and a lot of candles for Carolyn! :-) It was a pleasure to have our Agapé Rennes colleagues round again for a Christmas Breakfast. And we were also delighted to wait for the arrival of our neighbours to share the joy of Christmas over a "goûter". At the solicitor's, thankful to be owners of our house! First Christmas for Claire... ... who had fun tearing up some wrapping paper. Anna, future acrobat... ... or a future career in horse-riding perhaps? A few days in the country at Papy and Mamie's for a Christmas out in the fresh air! The five of us spent the last few hours of 2014 together enjoying some home-made nibbles in front of old cartoons from our childhood. And off

Here are the promised photos of our adventures between July and October.  Beginning of July, the whole family set off, by car and then by ferry, on a grand tour of the United Kingdom to visit ministry-partners as well as Carolyn's family.  We almost managed to go all the way round the country! Julie and Anna enjoyed rediscovering British play-parks.  And Claire was delighted to discover them for the first time. Our three beautiful flowers were in their element in the midst of amazing British gardens (here in Scotland) Julie and Anna practising high-jumping.  We were able to spend an afternoon on the East coast, to remind us of Brittany... ... and to sharpen Claire's teeth! At the border between England and Scotland (Carter Bar), the Bagpipe-player we met 4 years ago was still there, and the scenery just as beautiful.  And it is in Scotland that we celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary in style! After England and Scotland, we discovered a little corner of Paradise in the North
