Lunch on the terrace in Les Beaux en Provence- a really quaint, old village that has been restored. At the top of the hill, there was a chateau that belonged to the descendants of Balthazaar (the wise man). One of the flags atop the chateau was decorated with a star, the star of Bethlehem!
Sur le pont d'Avignon, on'y danse, on y'danse! There is a famous French children's song about dancing on top of this bridge in the former papal town of Avignon. We were so afraid that SA was going to jump into the river that we didn't really get to listen to our hand-held audioguides even though it was in English! :)
SA stopping to smell the flowers at our very charming hotel. You can't really tell in this picture, but there was a huge tree overlooking the terrace surrounded by lovely flowers and bushes. D and I enjoyed sitting out under the tree in the afternoons while SA napped.
Like mother, like daughter. She LOVES to read!
Lunch with Daddy at an Italian cafe in Nice, along the coast of the Mediterranean. Seeing the sea was a huge highlight for me even though I did get carsick on the "scenic" seaside winding road (thanks to my husband who loves to drive like Daryl Waltrip). :)
Mommy and SA having breakfast on the terrace outside our room. We had croissants, and french bread with an assortment of fresh, homemade fruit preserves, yogurt, fruit, and, of course, coffee!

Thanks for posting such sweet pictures. You three look so relaxed, like it was truly a holiday! Glad you got a break from meal prep!
I love the pic of SA reading, and I especially love the fact that the book is in French. I have been secretly jealous that your child(ren) are growing up bilingual. :)
You look wonderful....I hope you're feeling good, and we can't wait to hear whether you're adding a boy or a girl to your brood!

thanks, Bec! I'll keep you posted on the "prochain bebe". We find out in a couple of weeks.
I was so happy to find that you had added entries to your blog. I've been wondering about you and figured you had stopped completely. I can't wait to hear whether you are having a boy or a girl too! You look great.
We are expecting too--due in mid November, but I assume it will be the beginning of November since W and M were both early. I guess you never know though. This has been a more difficult pregnancy for me.
SA has grown so much. It hits me every so often that M is not at all a baby anymore, but, of course, they will always be our babies. Look forward to reading more posts! Love you! APB
