Daddy s working... working... working... good!

We are today sunday and our dear and so precious Aurelien is working very hard on the other side of the Hudson river...

His first official week of work started very smoothly last monday (he was on training the previous week). The staffer was not onsite... - here his your office, check if you have everything you need, here is your blackberry, try to connect yourself etc... He was 100% operational but that monday morning there was not much. Then little by little he got busy, very busy and on thursday extremelly busy as the sample of a real life in banking started there. And since well he is... busy... thursday : 8:30am-3:30 am and zzzzz - friday : 8am - 1:30am and zzz - saturday : 9am to 1:30am then zzzz - sunday : well he is still onsite but think that he will be able to take a couple of hours off before to join back again. Bouhouhou i was planning to go and see Summer Stage in Central Park - we ll see how it goes. My life these days is full of surprises!

The blue sky is coming (back) after the rain, but they plan a big storm at the end of the day... a little bit maybe like in the Pichon family...

See you!

Chloe... 4 years old already!

Time is flying! Our little "crevette" (could be translated as shrimp but this is actually one of her nicknames...) just blow her 4th candle away!

The day started around 9:45 for the 3 of us... - our little Mr left for work about 2 hours before.

Chloe discovered all her birthday presents together on a chair in the living room...well our bedroom eheh!... So hophophop she ran to open and unwrap presents - covered with the trendy trend of the moment... princesses paper! Lots of ohhhh and ahhhhhh - then i read her birthday cards and promessed a thousand time to read later on this book or this magazine... and then her stomach spoke : "i m hungry!". So breakfast for me and Chloe then we made a couples of things here and there. We made a good Skype session with Tata Floflo with to key stories : ptit ours brun, tchoupi, princesses etc... some kind of web baby sitting in a way! Then lunch and beddy bed time for Elanais before our big adventure of the afternoon and the surprise for Chloe : the Children museum of Manhattan. There Chloe was able to go and play all along living lots of experiences wiht the fire truck, the bus, the market etc. But most of all over there there is the worlds of Dora and Diego. The museum is great for kidos. Then we went for a tea-time at Helmers place just one block away to celebrate and enjoy one of there delicious ice-cream : the treat of the day! We spoilt each other and i did not very much diet that day, but still it was quite reasonable. Chloe chose a plain chocolate one with m&ms on it... Baby Elanais drank nicely her bottle and me just one scoop of mint-chocolate ice-cream. I took lots of pictures - particularly for Daddy who was obviously not able to join us there and hophophop we head home. Diner time and Chloe was over excited because she had to blow her 4 candles away! She was so excited that the sandy man (french thing i guess) need thousands of tones of sand to bring her asleep. Here it was the 19th of june 2008...

Oh and thanks a million for all your emails and cards - friends and family - it was so nice for her!

Bises a tous!
