Davina's Birthday Round 2 and Cousin's Visit

Sunday, Daniel's cousins came over. His sister and her daughter are here from Paris. These are very religious people, if you note some details in the photos.

Lef to right, Daniel cutting, Davina, Raphaelle and her mom Florence, baby Avigdor, brother Alexandre (all Florence's) and her dad Jean with Ronnie on the far right.

It was a shame that Florence's husband Olivier couldn't come. He's a lot of fun to talk to. Florence is very funny. I give her my girls' clothes when they outgrow them and to thank us, she gave us a box of wine than came from Olivier's winery.

I was very happy and Florence declared it a Good Deal. She turned to Daniel and (I'll try to translate) said "We'll keep your wife drunk and you keep our kids well dressed..." using not what you'd call slang but typical French expressions that don't really have an equivalent in English...


Again, Florence and her three kids, Jean hiding behind Alexandre, Ronnie and Samantha.

Françoise, Daniel's sister is on the left. Note Talia doing the filming on the right.


We kind of made another cake out of the tarts.


I'm holding Avigdor with Nicole, the baby's grandmother behind me and Talia on the other side. I like this photo because Talia takes after this part of the family. Here you can see how strong a resemblance she has to Nicole (Daniel's cousin).

Avigdor is a real sweetheart. A very easy, calm baby, always happy.

Me, Samantha, Avigdor and Talia.

Yet more present opening! This time goodies from America;


Cousin picture! From left to right; Alexandre, Raphaelle, Talia, Samantha holding Avigdor and Davina.


Talia showing off again. I like the way her hair falls. Hope it's not too much of a crotch-shot!
