Thsi afternoon, it was really sunny and warm!

Well let's go to the park!!

Hum? Who's hiding in the forest?

Gabrielle!!!

Gabrielle tried all the stuff for playing...

Amané was allways staring at her!

Then Yuta and the 2 girls

played with the sand....

Good job Gabrielle and Yuta!!

See you soon Gabrielle!!!

From our balcony...

Hey who's that passing by?

A little girl likes to say;

'élio', for 'vélo'...bike....

The people who sold us this bike

would be really happy to know

how much Amané loves it!

February 21th 2012

Today we went to see the grand mother of the forest....

Amané, even after 2 months not coming,
remember well the way to go to the chikens....
Follow me, I'll show you the way!

Grand grand mother found something great in their house....

Waow! An egg!!

Then the uncle showed and explained

everything in the farm to Yuta....

And he shows his old bicycles...

Amané said: They are mine!

Yuta tried all the bikes...

He even went to the forest....

Amané was really free there...

She was walking, running alone

every where...

And of course she did that the same way

as her grand grand mother:

the 2 hands in the back...

We were lucky to meet the epicier...

Céd, c'est le même qui passait

le matin quand on était enfants..!

It was a great sunny afternoon!

February 20th 2012

This morning,
while I was doing some administrative papers....
Amané and Yuta went for a 2 hours walk!

Of course they went to the station....

After the walk, Amané

wanted to do the same as dad:

sunbathing on our balcony.....!!!!

After the siesta we went to the swing park...

Amané likes to touch our hands

when she's swinging!

But what she really likes the most

is to climb the stairs, doing slide,

and passing under the little bridge....

February 19th 2012

This ia our garden, on the north side...
Can you see Amané and Yuta?

It's quite big, with two terrasses

for good days out!

And so, from our rooms windows

we can see a big panorama...

Et pour Nathalie, on peut voir le jardin de Catherine!

In Japan, it will be HINA MATSURI....

Amané loves a beautiful book

(I bought her one year ago)

talking about it,

she also knows the song,

but we also did an atelier to draw the OHinasama....

After the siesta we went (again!!!)

to a nice brocante....

And then to the same park...

Amané played a lot but also

looked for so long the other kids....

We found some nice

camel mountains!

Amané was so excited to climb them!

Then the swans, the merrygoland.....

See you soon the park!

February 18th 2012

Today was a great full day!

It was Yuta's birthday!!!!


Early morning in the park,
to give bread to the ducks and the swans...

Beautiful light at this time of the day....

Then at the open air market

near our house,

to buy a big delicious FESTIN for Yuta!

And then, after the siesta, the circus!

Who is the happiest?

We had time to see the animals before the show....

Camels, yacks, poneys, horses, cows, cats....

Lions, tigers....

And then Amané was sitting inside....

For her, the show has begun:

so many kids all around her!!!!

And then the show itself:

lions, acrobats, cats, in the air,

horses....

But after 45 mn, Amané was screaming

BYE BYE! BYE BYE!!!!

So we missed the clowns, the lion and the camels...

but it was really impressive and enough for this little girl!

February 17th 2012

Those days, when dad or mum
is cooking for dinner
Amané likes to hear stories....
She's really patient now,
and we can read with her during one hour!!!

So this afternoon,

we went to the library of the city,

to pick up books for this quiet time...

February 16th 2012

This afternoon we went to grammy's house!
For snack Amané got for the first time
some "merveilles" (kind of donuts)....

She was so glad that she kisses
3 times grammy when we left her!

February 15th 2012

We had a new favorite game...!
Amané became a tiger (merci Aurélie!!!)
and I became a zebra (no, sorry no picture of Aurèle the zebra......!!!)
and with Yuo the elephant and the giraffe
we ran in the savan.....

We wash in the river, we sleep on the pillow,

and we eat on the sofa....!!!

Here the tiger, crossing the river!

Of course, Amané still likes

playing piano...

Those days she's imitating Axel:

she always needs Mr Rabbit around....

Poor Pierrot the clown...!

In the afternoon

we went to one of the big park of the city...

Full of toys for kids....for every age..

Amané even had her snack in her new house...!

We didn't have bread for all the ducks

and the two swans....

but Yuta imitated very well throwing them something...

so Amané imitated dad....

Poor swans, poor ducks...

We will come back soon with lot of bread!
