My little baker!


I just had to take a brake from our vacation to post these photos of my little baker! She is so darn cute! When I start cooking she goes and gets a little stool and her apron, and comes to helps. But that is not all! She pretends she has an audience and describes everything we do! Like a TV cooking show! She asks me what we are doing and why, so she can tell her audience! Simply adorable! I should record her!

Je dois prendre une pause de notre petite vacance pour mettre ces photos de ma petite cuisiniere... Elle est trop mimi! Quand je commence a cuisiner, elle va chercher un petit tabouret et son tablier et vien m'aider. Mais c'est pas tout! Elle imagine qu'elle a une audiance et decrit tout ce que l'on fait! Comme a la Tele! Elle me demande ce que l'on fait pour bien pouvoir tout expliquer a sont audience! C'est trop adorable! Je devrais la filmer!

A Fun Cousin Visit!

I am posting this in retrospect. 
I've been looking through some of my journals and found one with just a few entries, my last ones before I started blogging more.

This is what I wrote.

I have had a lot of family stay with us this Summer.
My Cousin Fabrice, Sarah and their boys Paul and Tom came to stay with us for 3 weeks.
They are the perfect guests! Fabrice would cook almost every night. 
They would do the dishes, clean up dinner, and help with chores.

Having the 'Vanaquer man family trait', Fabrice would fix anything that needed fix'n!
Mike's car brakes, irrigation gutters during a bad rain storm that started flooding our basement!
During which as a true French man he ran out only waring his underwear!
I did give him a clear plastic rain pancho for the neighbors benefit that is!

We had a wonderful time while they were with us.

The kids would all go to Kings Island together.

We also went to Hocking Hills.
Emric and I took a road trip with them to Washington DC.

There we did a LOT of walking! 
Like we do a lot in France.
Emric was not used to it!
We went to the Air & Space museum, the Holocaust Museum, The Indian Museum.
We did a little shopping and the Boys went to the Spy Museum.
They left with promises of us visiting them in France in the future!

I'm sure I have some pictures somewhere! 
I just need to find them and I can post them here!
