Bonjour tous le monde!

We left Vietnam a little over 2 weeks ago and after a looonnnggg travel day (30+ hours), we arrived to France. We've settled in and are now enjoying our time in Aix-en-Provence. Here are a few pics from the past few weeks.

Settling in for the long flight.

Duty Free!

Enjoying the Oryx Lounge in Doha Airport

First steps in France!

Enjoying gelato in Aix

Catching some sun in Cassis

Lost in Nice (again Maman?!)

Ha! I found the way--Sophie wasn't too impressed.

Putting Sophie to work...

Sophie helped clean house the other day.
First, she made sure our dustpan and broom were clean.

Then she swept...

and mopped!

Harvest Moon Festival!

Last Monday was Harvest Moon which is a popular kids holiday in Vietnam. Daddy bought Sophie a lantern which he used to have when he was a kid. At first, Sophie didn't know what to make of it.

 But then we added fire...

Our apartment complex also threw a celebration for all the kids. Sophie received a warm welcome from her French amie Emma.

We all scream for ice cream!

Sophie often insists on feeding herself these days...

mostly, it's just the trying that keeps her content.

This is what happens when you stick your finger in a moving fan...

It looks much worse than it really was.
She had full use of her hand by dinner time...
