Well Turkey day came on Saturday here in France since it is not a holiday here. We had a huge dinner with 20 adults and 13 toddlers and babies. Eek. We cleaned out our old Forge and rented a big heater and butchered 2 of our neighbor's turkeys. The few photos I managed to take came out very blurry, probably because I never stopped moving. Run run run! Never did a sit down dinner for so many before and not sure I myself ever sat down but it was great fun and I'm looking forward to next Thanksgiving... a nice intimate dinner with 2 of our closest friends sounds about right!

Toy's new dog print

Yes so, life is as exciting as ever. This weekend, Toy had a toe bitten off by the neighbor's dog. Really gross. We found the "toe" in the street outside our front gate but it is not possible to re-attach. So, our little Toy dog is now missing one toe/claw and it is one of the main ones used for balance but he seems to be able to walk ok anyway. When he is not knawing on it and removing stitches. Eew sorry.

I heart mummy...

If you haven't been reading word for word my blog, you might be wondering why I call him a pimp. Well you will just have to read the rest of this article!

Also in this issue of Jeanne is babel babel babellliiiiing : One single halloween photo, Kristof aligator video and a butt that says and my mummy hearts me.

Hip hip horray for Obama!

Just had to put in a little note for historic record that today is the day that America elected Barack Obama for president.  Words can not express how deeply content I am and excited for the future. This is so much bigger than race, this is finally having hope and trusting America and politics again. The more I learn about him, the more I respect and admire him. Now, have I EVER said that about another american president? Certainly not in the past 8 years. 

Let's see. We had another baby born, Little Rose.

What a super cutie! Arnaud and Manu are sleep walking parents now. I try very hard to remember what those first few months were like. Trying to imagine doing all that again. Another second babe is coming as Margaret and Mike have a little brother or sister growing for Alex. And tyan, er, becky is working on her second too. We are thinking about it but, until the house is done, I'm not ready to commit. Kristof is fast approaching the terrible twos and no has definately become his favorite word. Yikes.

So, I have not been great about updating and can't remember everything that has been going on so I am just going to go through all the photos I have and throw them up here. Starting with this one, Happy Birthday Lucas! It was Lucas' 1st Birthday and mommy claire had the party at our favorite hangout acrochat.

Well, it has been a very long time since I have updated. Its not my fault though! We had no Internet for 2 weeks. But I'm back online and on the computer at 2am cuz I've got a migraine and can't sleep. jeesh.

Have a cute video of Kristof dancing with his mega bed head afro. Hope I can find a way to put it up here. And Izzy has had a little sister! Here's my first photo of littly Lucie Rose with her daddy. No picture of mummy as I think there should be a law against photographing mom's in the maternity ward.
