Our big kids... if you look well, Mathoni is at the other end of the bed.... they seem to sleep better like this ans it makes us gane space in the room!!!;)It's beginning to look a lot like christmas over here.... Elena loves the christmas music and all

The christmas tree has almost fallen couple times... and the decorations have all changed place at least 10 times.... thanks to the kids who have lots of fun with it!

I never thought it could take soo long to decorate a little tree with little kids...

Before it was my birthday... and I made myself a huge cake, soooo good!!!

Mathoni and his weird sleeping positions

In front of the Temple... that was my present, Mithona had planned us a 2 days trip for my b-day!!! I loved it!! thanks sooo much!!!!

And my other present was.... MITHONA!!!! He took a week off without telling me... I thought he was at work, but he rang at the door and was like this.... he was my gift!!! And he took care of the kids a lot and cooked and did everythig to help me rest!!!! I love him sooo much!!!

Our kids love to play together....

And this is what Elena does while I prepare dinner these days.... she climbes on the table and east any left over she can grab!!! (often rice)

Mathoni has finally started sleeping at night and 2 regular naps in the day... all this since he drinks bottled milk and eats real food and has 6 teeth that cme out at once!!!!! Now he's learning how to let go his mommy a little...

Elena is very creative and love to laugh, dance, draw, and anything a little weird that goes through her mind. She a very loving girl and we love her....

All in all, well, we've been very busy, as always... I'm happy this is updated a little, now i've gotta go finish all my christmas projects!!!!

what's new?!

Good morning kids!! Wish you would get out of our bed and leave us sleep in a little... The other day, Mathoni crawled to the iron table while I was putting the iron away... and when I came back,, he was pushing the table to walk... that's what it looked like!!! (and he winked when I took the picture)

Mathoni is teething and still nothing come out, but everything has gone in his mouth at least once!

Elena and Mathoni love to push each other around, which is kind of scary at times because Mathoni is very strong, but not very stable... and Elena is very fast!!

I've been having lots of trouble getting Mathoni to eat something else than my milk (he's 8months old now)... well, he decided to eat his yogurt all by himself while I turned around a few seconds!! Of course, he had just taken a bath... and was ready for another one!!!

Gouter time... Elena gets to watch her favorite movie : Shrek and eat a chocolate cookie, while Mathoni blows in the fulte and actually makes real sounds of flute!

What a gorgious reagion we live in!!! We love to go for walks around the lake, or up in the mountains in Family!!! Soo much fun!

Mathoni can get up all by himself on almost anything now!!! Probably soon gonn abe walking alone!! That will be dangerous!!

All in all... we're doing great, just busy with very lively kids, always trying new experiences!!! Isn't life excitin?!

Vacations....

Well... we've been home for 2 weeks now and since then it's been very cold and really feels like summer is over!!

I thought of putting a lot of pictures... but really it would take too long to do a whole resume of our 3 weeks vacation... so here's in VERY short... We went to a parc (Walibi) and had lots of fun on the roller costers!!!
Then we went south of France and enjoyed the sea and the warm weather.
At the same time we went to see my Papy Jacques who is now 88 1/2 years old!
Then we went to see my parents a little and had lots of fun just being with them! And the kids got to know them a little more!! Now Elena is always looking for them and wants to listen to Nursery Rimes that her Nanny gave to her
And we got hoem in time to receive my brother and his girl friend who both live in China!!
We really had time to enjoy our summer, it was really fun... but getting back into "real life" and a real rythm wasn't very easy, especially for the kids who have lots of trouble sleeping at night.... but this too shall come to pass.....

Elena has become insomniac and has been keeping us all from sleeping at night... and this is what is looks like around 8am at home after one of these nights...
Almost 6 months and already "walking"!!!!
And eating a bit of melon....
And he seems to like it!
Somehow, even if she doesn't sleep Elena still gets to make us think she's soo cute...
In Mathoni's bed.... they both find this sooo fun!
Bath time.... Mathoni as a little Nemo fish that swims all by itslef, he loves it!! Thanks to Nany and Nonno!

And he's learned to not scream anymore when getting out of the bath!!!!

Kids are amazing, always progressing!!!

Finally updated!!!

Well, well, well.... it's been a realy long time since I did this!!! I do have a good excuse... we didn't have a camera anymore!! We put it to be repared... and after 6weeks of waiting they finally decided they couldn't repare, so we got a new camera!!! And we finally got some picture taken!!!The kids have grown a lot and sure take up a lot of my time!!! Especially when they don't sleep at night... but this too shall come to pass!;)
Mathoni is now 5months old and he's starting to crawl and to sit all by himself!
Elena is all excited about her brother who's growing and with whom she can start to play a little...
It has become very hard to have a picture of us 4.... but he's one of the only one that exists!
No he's not scared of being in bed...
Just scared of what his sister might do to him while he's in bed!
All in all... we are a very busy family, but also very happy!!!
And it is a lot of fun to see that our kids love each other already!

Désolée pour les francophones...... En gros je dirait que tout va bien et que nous avons enfin un appareil photo c'est pour ça que j'ai enfin pu mettre à jour le blog!!!! On est très heureux, ça ne se voit pas?!;)

Mamie...

Un petit quelque chose que j'ai envoyé à ma maman pour la fête des mères.... ne sont-ils pas trop mignons ces petits monstres?!

Here's a little something I sent to my mommy for mother's day... aren't these little monsters cute?!

This is for real is very first laugh!!! Cant' believe he just started laughing!!! I thought it was just gonna be another movie where he doesn't do much, but he laughed!!!!!

There was some music that day at the lake and of course, Elena had to dance!!! Elena discovered the swing and loves it... for a little while.
She finally let me attach her hair... she screamed a lot, but didn't move and didn't touch it after! hahahahaha! So funny to have a little girl!
And here's our boy, looking more and more like a boy!!
For sure the cutest boy ever... always with the most beautiful smile ever on his face!!!!
