Bonjour Les Petits!

These kids are so incredibly adorable! From left to right, we have Jules, Marion, and Martin Troadec, the kids of Charlotte, our friend Marianne's sister. We spent an incredibly short week with them all last summer in the south of France, and Steven still can not stop talking about it. Steven was so affected by Martin and what a precocious, wonderful boy he is. He would make like a little tiny Napolean, vocalising a little "Ta da!!" sound before charging into the pool with an heroic giggle. And Jules played badmitton all day with Steven and then would read every night after dinner and before bed. Marion was a tiny enfant, sleeping all the time...but now she is a little girl! Steven was also impressed with how the boys would patiently proceed through multiple course lunches their Grandma would prepare for them everyday, singing and talking at the table while the vegetable course would be cleared away and their yogurt or cheese course would be prepared. Steven always says if he knew we could have a kid like Martin, he would sign up immediately. I think I would too.

Yes, they are adorable. Jules is so affectionate and sweat. I remember that he told Charlotte that he wanted to have Chinese food for dinner again after having a real chinese meal for the first time. That is very impressive on how open he is for different things.

Martin is just cute, cute, cute and very independent mind. Marion was such a good baby - sleep, smile and eat.


Hopefully, we will see them again or they will visit us.
