"a portrait of my children one a week, every week, in 2016."

Stella: She did not want to head back to the city, and especially she didn't want to head back to school. So I kept her home that first day back just to keep the holiday vibe going a bit longer.

Hugo: He's getting ALL OF HIS TEETH this week. Up until now, he's been, like, a little rabbit with just his front teeth and some molars. Now he's getting a full mouth all at once, and man, life is difficult for this little dude.

We're back from our beach holiday, and the adjustment to city living has not been so easy this time. Especially since our little French cousin came down with a terrible case of chicken pox. The poor guy is covered from head to foot in what seems like layer upon layer of pox. I've never seen a case like this (with all my vast medical knowledge, you know ;) ). Needless to say, we've been mostly confined indoors, no adventuring for us. Our visitors were meant to fly home yesterday, but unfortunately pox baby can not board a plane, so we're getting just a little longer with our fam, which, after all, isn't such a terrible thing, now is it?
