Steph's visiting

Like every year, Steph came to visit us for few days. But this time, she brought with her her new digital camera reflex. Ouch, be aware of the flash.
I had problem to select her pictures!!
We spent a quite weekend at home where she was able to appreciate our everyday life.
Saturday evening, we had a girls night out, it was great: movie Inception, then Thai restaurant. Perfect!!

West Wittering: camping on the beach

We liked so much our first trip to the beach that we decided to try an other one.
We really don't choose our weekend well. After three weekend really hot, we decided to go when the sky is grey and the wind is up.
But this time, we took the tent with us and it was great.





The children had a bath anyway:





The weather got better when we left, but we were really tired by the wind. We will definitely come back.

Eric is in London

Éric lives in Switzerland, but he comes in London to party. Because we don't have a lot of occasion to see him, we met him for one afternoon.
The children had their nap in the car.



Then they had their snack in Hide Park!!
We had a really good walk into the park with Éric and it was good to see each other again.
Éric, as a single man, was a little bit jealous of Rémi's popularity with girls of all ages, but he took some notes ;)







What is sure, is that Éric is not scared of Arthur anymore:

Rémi is two years old

For Rémi's second birthday, we invited some friend from nursery in majority.
Rémi didn't understand what they were doing here and what to do with the candles, but he enjoyed the food and he shared really nicely his toys.

It is too hot: playing with water.

This year, summer is with us, so we are trying to keep it cool with some water.
We went to the seaside one day (it is only at 1h30 away from home!!), where the children loved paddle.
It was cooler when the clouds were out and the water was frozen cold, but we still felt like on holiday!!!!



Picture taken through the binoculars:



After tasting the water:



But we also can keep it cool near the house by going to the paddling pool. The water is filthy, but the children love it:





An other source of water nearby: Thames river where we went punting, twice. First with some of my colleagues from work and the second time with a former colleague from my temp job:

The parents are going out

Yes, we also have the right to have fun between adults.

Christelle and Richard left both of them their job to work in a big manufacturing company. They could invite one person each to their summer BBQ. So we went and played:



I am on the right, Marc is on the left (and I won!!!)

Oxfordshire's playground

This is not that we don't like Wallingford, but from time to time we like trying different playground.
Marc tried one in Oxford which just has been renovated:



Apparentely, the children loved it.

Personaly, I have tried the one near the swimming pool in Didcot:



But I have to say thay it isthe one in Wallingford where we admire our sons' motor skills:

Visit from Nikki and Joshua

We had the pleasure to have Nikki and Joshua for a night.
It's great to see a friend from Bristol who now lives in Dallas. You know that it is a real friendship when you don't feel guilty of playing with your IPhone!!:



Tap tap revenge is a great game, there is no picture to prove it, but I was part of the game too!!
And thanks to the Volcano in Island, we had them again at the end of their holidays because they couldn't go home:





The two evening were short, but it is much better that a conversation on the web-cam!!! It's a shame that Steve couldn't take any holidays!

Arthur goes on a merry-go-round

Arthur went for the first on a merry-go-round (without crying!!)
The first time was for May Bank Holiday



For the video: go here

We also went on bumper car, but we were just the two of us, so there is no photos. But, a month and an half later, there was Wallingford carnival and then Marc took some pictures:



Rémi wasn't happy to join us so in the next ride we put him with Arthur. He cried when he started, but then was really happy to be with his brother:

Birthday's parties Part 2

This year is really the year of the birthday party and dressing up!!!
We are just back from our holidays and we already thinking of the outfit to wear at Elliot birthday party. Theme: superhero. Arthur wants to be in Batman and he wants Rémi to be in Superman (ok, no problem I can do that), but he also wants Mummy to be in Batman and Daddy in Superman. OK, I still can do that (fortunately I am a fan of Superman!!!)
Arthur and Mummy in Batman:



Rémi in Clark Kent (wink from Marc who was also dress-up in Clark Kent):





Then it was Riccardo's birthday party who is the son of my former Italian teacher:



Then it was Cora's birthday party (yes, Her again!!) in a Gym room:

Our holidays to Strasbourg

We're back! (at last would say some of you). We were pretty busy which explain our silence and to make sure I don't miss any detail (you know me by now), I am going to start from where I stopped: our Easter Holidays to Strasbourg.
It was over a year ago the last time we went and we had a lot of people to see and a lot of things to celebrate.
First of all, Arthur's birthday who for the first time celebrated with his family instead of his friends. As it was a last minute organised celebration, everybody couldn't come, but we were already quite a lot and he has been spoiled:



Then during Easter weekend, we had the Carlucci family party which consists to get the most Carlucci members from the same ancestor (Marc great-grand father). In total, we are 187 peoples and there were 87 at the party:



Arthur thought it was still his party as the name of the party was Carlucci party!!!

Then we saw our family in small group, our friends...(To see the pictures of our friend on the site, you have to ask me for a password by email)



After two weeks we were completely knackered, but pleased to see (almost) everybody. We travelled by train this time and it was fantastic:

Meeting with archangel Raphaël

The Dutschke family came all together exactly a year after their last visit and also our last meeting.
They added to their family: Raphaël.
We had the joy to have them for a week.
Samuel and Arthur played really well together from the beginning.
Rémi was jealous of us giving cuddles to Raphaël.
Great time, to do it again in less than a year.

After a long walk at the park, a little bit of TV:


Day at the dinosaurs museum:




Morning at Snake and Ladder:



Evening playing Scopa that the girls always won:


Walk between guys:
