celebrations
the beginning of the new year was a bit hectic. both boys were ill, especially little Lucien who got his first bronchiolitis at only 4 weeks of age. Poor him is still a bit poorly but the worst is gone and so are our fears. I am glad the two hours of sleep a night period is also over..
this blog is now 1 year and four days. I treasure this place a lot and am very happy about all the nice things it brought me in the past year. thank you all for being part of it and taking the time to pop in and leave a comment.
In two days, i have another anniversary to try and remember. 10 years since I moved from France to England. this leaves me a bit speechless as i would never have imagined at the time that I would still be here..
to celebrate I have a little something to give away to one of you. please simply leave a comment and i will draw a winner at the end of the week.
glad to hear lucien is doing better!
congrats on your 1 year :)
p.s. love the new banner

congrats on your 1 year. mine was on 1/1
congrats on birth of baby lucien- what a beautiful name.
i am about 6 or 7 weeks away from meeting my second child...the waiting at the end is so hard and then the beginning so other-worldly.
glad to hear things are sort of settling.

Congratulations on the birth of your son. What is that orange thing in the photo, a blanket?
I usually avoid commenting for give-aways, but you make such beautiful things...

What a cool photo!
I'm glad your little ones are better. As a pediatric nurse (and a mum) I know how scary it can be to have such a little one with bronchiolitis! Unfortunately, this is the season.
I love your blog so much. I have listed it as one of my favorite blogs of 2007 and I'm sure it will continue to be so in 2008.
