Help find Madelaine McCann...

PLEASE...They need your help...
I got this e-mail this morning...and this story has broken my heart...It's the little girl that got stolen in Portugal about 15 days ago now..
Please read this message and pass it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you are aware my niece is still missing and I am asking everyone I know to send this as a chain letter i.e. you send it to everyone you know and ask them to do the same, as the story is only being covered in Britain, Eire and Portugal. We don't believe that she is in Portugal anymore and need to get her picture and the story across Europe as quickly as possible. Suggestions are? welcome.

The Folks in Paris...

May 2007
Mom and Dad arrived to Paris the day Sarkozy became officially President of France....May 16th 2007...
We found our selves in the middle of the whole parade...and once in it hoping we would get a glimpse of our new president...but no such luck...we got a better look once at home in front of the TV....
Took them to visit...the Musée du Quai Branly, It's a beautiful Museum.
It was Jack Shirac's idea to create this museum, do to his love for ''Art Premier'' art of all the people...It is really a beautiful place...They had a Special expo on African Art...quite interesting...the kids loved it...
We ate at the ''the Terrace'' the panoramic restaurant on the last floor, created by designer Jean Nouvel...
Well all I can say it's the chairs were outstanding the rest I won't comment...I do not recommend the food the restaurant was a total rip off and it is not at all adapted for children....any way live and learn... We had a great day...and a couple of laughs...
We took the Folks to Bercy Village an area they have done near Bercy were they closed off all the roads and have created an outside Village with stores and lots of different restaurants quite nice and fun...My son brought along his skate board and then we headed to Trocadero were the Eiffel tower is to go skate around...
It's been a fun couple of days...

Some Daisies...

Some daisies to cheer up a rainy day....
They always put a smile on my face...

Post-It

Last night I took my daughter to see a Play, just me and her...It was great fun, I used to do that a great deal with my mom when I was her age, we had a great time...The play was called Post-it, and it was about 3 girls in their 30's sharing an apartment, and all the things that happen around that age...Girl stuff...

Bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux des filles et plus particulièrement dans l’appartement de Léa, Cécile et Charlotte, trois co-locatrices, la trentaine, que l’on observe comme au travers d’un trou de serrure. Le ton est léger, les répliques fusent alors n’oubliez pas de coller un post-it sur votre réfrigérateur et marquez y bien : à ne pas manquer !

A new President...

Sarkozy is the next president of France. He won the first round and the second round with good margins. French voters have given him a clear mandate to rule and deliver on his promises, but to do that he still needs to jump a few more hurdles…we will see what happens in June during the parliamentary election....
The commune that Bazainville depends of, Houdan voted Sarkozy 64.3%

May Day, Labor Day....

Here is a little bouquet of Muguet....It's tradition here in France to give a bouquet of Muguet the 1st of May for good luck...
Muguet=lily of the valley...
It was given to me by my neighbors this morning, I was very touched...

What a rainstorm....

Boy did it rain last night...It's been 3 weeks of amazing weather and last night some one up there was moving stuff around...
Thunder and lightning rocked the sky's...But the sun has made it way threw this morning and it looks like its going to be a great day...

Jumping....

Today was beautiful day and we headed out to the club to do some sports and so the kids could go swimming,
by the tennis courts they had put up a tranpolin....and the kids jumped up and down until they felt like they had done a rollercoaster ride....
Happy Sunday to all...
