Snapshots of Life


Last week we took a field trip with the school to experience a bit of French culture and history. We visited a glass blower, who explained the process of making glass- all in French, of course. After that, we visited a museum/park dedicated to the history of mining in the Savoie region in France (the region that we live in). It was a bit of a rainy day, so that spoiled the outside tour a bit, but it was nice to have a break from a regular school day and see a new place.







Did you know that our apartment came with an indoor gym? You can see here that our hallway doubles as a workout room. Working out is still a priority to Eric and, as you can see, it's rubbing off on Malachi too. He's getting in his daily push-ups while Daddy works on his pull-ups.









The day we receive a package is always a special day. Here you can see the kids enjoy
ing the discovery of the contents of a package from our family in Georgia.



Riding the bus, our secondary mode of transportation (the 1st being walking, of course), is always a hit with this little man. Can you blame him? No seatbelts, people getting on and off all the time, and a great view of the city. Here, he's avoiding a picture and drinking some applesauce. Yes, I said drinking applesauce. Applesauce comes in these neat little foil packages with a spout for the kids to suck the applesauce out of. It's both convenient and yummy at the same time!

I especially like the picture of Malachi when he is on the floor with Hannah. Is he making a C with his hand? or a telescope perhaps? I love you!
