Easter and Thereabouts

Aimy slowly but surely started to feel better after coming home from the hospital. I kept her with us for a week to be sure that she was doing much better, and then it was back to school and to our normal routine. She was happy to go back, and didn't seem like she had any trouble readjusting, which was a relief to all of us. 

Alixe did very well with our neighbour while I was with Aimy at the hospital. She was very well behaved and slept well, and I think she enjoyed having all the attention from the neighbour's son! She has definitely warmed to our neighbour and calls out to say hello every time we see her. But unfortunately cold season got to her too, and she came down with bronchiolitis at the end of March. Fortunately she recovered fairly quickly and was back to her normal self in no time.

Walking at the beach on a very windy day!
Admiring something we very rarely
see here at the beach...
A starfish!!
We were at the in-laws's place for the Easter weekend, and this year was a lot of fun, seeing as both the girls were old enough to understand how to hunt for treasures in the garden. Alixe needed a little more help finding everything, but she loved running around and filling up her basket with chocolate, and Aimy was even faster and better at seeing things than last time. (I even enjoyed myself when I helped the Bells hide the chocolate - here it's "les cloches" that bring Easter treats, not the Easter Bunny...) All in all, everyone had fun, though I'm glad the bells were careful to hide the chocolate in the shade, otherwise it would have melted - the weather was gorgeous!!


On the hunt!
Found some!
