Finally! (we have been shamed...)

Angela & Guillaume have had a very busy summer, fall and winter. (Not really, Angela has been lazy.)

The Christmas tree is up, decorated and lit for the season. There has been no snow in Boston, although it is very cold! Guillaume still bundles up and rides his Vespa (La Voile) to work every night.

Christmas will be hosted here for the first time, and Guillaume is very excited. Helen and Andrew will be here, and hopefully Claudia and Guy (depending on things in France, of course), and maybe there will be snow! But there will certainly be Joy!

Now, some new pictures of the home. There is some new artwork on the walls, which has taken some time to choose, but finally decisions were made. (And some lamps were finessed from Helen...)

The dining room, with some artwork from our favorite artists, Papy Pierrrrrre and Andrew.

And the latest additions, another painting, the bookshelf and some pretty vases that look like they belong in the Caribbean.

And the little piece of Paris on the wall...

Hopefully this will not be the last post before Christmas & New Year's Eve, but if it is:

Joyeux Noel a tous!

Allez les Bleus!

Guillaume is praying to the Soccer Gods.

And when he's not doing that, he is now golfing!

This is his new bag with some of his new clubs.

Angela & Guillaume went to the practice range in Saugus on a sunny afternoon. Guillaume is good. Angela is not.

Spring in Boston

Finally, after a not-so-bad winter, spring is here!

Some signs:

Guillaume out for his first run of the year (with his new shirt and new sneakers)

The beautiful flowers and trees in front of the building

The Real Deal

Guillaume's green card arrived in the mail today! The US Department of Homeland Security approves of our love. Hooray!

Happy New Year Indeed!

Guillaume's 10-year green card approval letter came in the mail yesterday. Happy New Year!

Le Sapin

Today was a busy day. Guillaume left the house to get the Christmas tree!

He brought it home and threw it on the floor, and left again to get the preparations for crepes, for tonight! Hooray!

Now the tree is decorated, and Angela is waiting (im)patiently to have her Christmas decorating tradition crepes.

First Snow & A Birthday!

Last night Angela picked up Guillaume after work because the first snow fell during the evening, and he couldn't scoot around on La Voile. The seasonal lights are up on Commonwealth Ave, and it was so pretty with the snow.

And now it's time for spring!

And Happy Birthday Mom!
