Sunday afternoon at Glanum

Although it was a rainy day, we managed to visit St Remy de Provence, which was soooooo loverly (we have to go back on a sunny day) and the antic city of Glanum, city of the God Glan ou en français le Dieu Glan...
We had a lovely time!

Vegan treats and Sarah working for Change

DC- working for CHANGE

We went to DC and did our best to try to influence "climate change" policy. We worked very hard to spread the message that every man, woman, and child can be a part of the solution by going vegetarian. It is the fastest way to halt the release of the most potent greenhouse gas (methane) into the atmosphere. Vegan choices will also halt the cutting down of the rain forest, which is our lungs that absorb carbon dioxide, and also stop the polluting of our rivers and ocean by stopping the fertilizer runoff
from growing crops to feed the livestock.
We created a video to enter the video contest, the winner gets representation at the Copenhagen Climate Change conference.
If any of our family members would like to help us , let me know, I will send you instruction to vote for our video.
Love to all from Washington DC.

A Fall Saturday in Lisbon

Owen and Isaac helping Grandpa rake leaves

This is the Corn Maze we went to. We were totally lost!!

There are 3 courses to choose from. We chose the intermediate one. We still got lost but finally found our way out. It was a good time.

This made my day !

holidays in Montpellier

I just came back from 10 days in Montpellier, time is running so fast !! The kids are so cute, I miss them already, next time I see them (in a loooong time) they will be so big !!

Antoine starts reading, he draws a lot more. Remi is so cute ! And walks, follows us everywhere, plays with Antoine all the time, and he dances on music (my dad has a video I think) !




Antoine went to a cooking class twice, he made an orange cake and deserts for halloween !!
He also had swimming class, enjoy the video !

Chestnut Fair and other activities

The Bernard's drove to the Cevennes Mountains today and made it to a couple of nice villages (well, more like half a dozen). It was chestnut time, but also the right time for onions, apples and all kinds of jams...

Nice houses, palaces and castles...


And in the middle of nowhere, people learning how to make baskets, very nice group, probably a bunch of hippies still living there.







And finally, a nice B&B waiting for you to come.
