Lil and Max made their own tent for watching movies in
When cabin fever started to set in, we went for a drive to check out the local ski resorts of La Féclaz and Le Revard, situated about 45 minutes from our house.
The temperature was dropping the higher up the mountain we got, but I still couldn't believe it when the rain changed into snow! Only two days ago I was topping up my tan on the balcony! It's a good job Luke was dressed appropriately for the bad weather:
Unimpressed with the ears
Seriously?!
Hopefully the early snow is a good sign for decent local skiing this winter, as it would be a perfect way for Lily to spend her Wednesday afternoons.
Speaking of Lily, she's been working hard at school and at home, trying hard to learn as much French as she can. She seems to remember new vocabulary really well, and just needs to get more confident in sticking it all together to construct sentences. I'm sure that will come soon though.
Hard at work
Luke is now 12 weeks old and a smiley, gurgly little bundle of cuddles. Most of the time. There's still no sign of him sleeping through the night but he never makes a fuss. I just stick him in next to me for a feed and he drops straight off again. There's nothing better than waking up to his warm milky baby breath ;)
Max is just as lively as ever. I caught him putting salt and pepper on his little baby brother the other day...not entirely sure whether he was planning on eating him but i rescued him just in time. He's made himself right at home here and can frequently be found wandering in and out of Catherine and Eric's house.
Just before Max decided to swing Luke into the door frame...
They invited us round for stone baked pizzas again the other night. I really want an outdoor bread oven, as the pizzas are amazing! We're planning on inviting them over for some proper English food in return. Maybe a nice shepherd's pie or some roast beef and Yorkshire puds.
Another day of rain tomorrow, but a sunny week forecast ahead - hooray!
