Three Friends in a Tree

Three Friends in a Tree, originally uploaded by Reechard.

I took this photo earlier today at a birthday party for one of Charles' classmates. As the scavenger hunt wound down, the boys began exploring a tree that hung out over the lake. I caught them amidst the foliage. Charles is on the left next to Pun and Louis, his two best friends this year.

Two Cousins in Paris

A-Day-at-the-Races---01
Originally uploaded by Reechard.

I took this photo of Catharine and Diana while we were at the races on Mother's Day this year. Since moving to Paris, one of our most pleasant surprises has been to connect to Diana, her husband Mitch and daughter Lila.

Diana and Catharine are distant cousins and, before meeting in Paris, had only met a few times in New Hampshire when we visited there. Now they are a special part of our extended family -- the only one we have here in France.

A Day at the Races

A little late perhaps, but just wanted to catch up with some activities we've engaged in recently. On Mother's Day, we gathered at the race track in Porte d'Auteuil (in the southwest corner of the 16e arrondissement in Paris). Spreading our picnic blankets on the center field, we unloaded and consumed delicacies, sipped champagne, threw frisbees, played badminton, chatted and, of course, watched the horses run and jump.
