Ode to October 2023

Do you guys think I can catch up with 2023 before the end of it?!!! I’m determined. Let’s get to October, a super busy, sunny and fun month.

Flowers from my husband. I love him.

Cathy and Wayne Taylor visited from Seattle.

Ave and Maki are some legit mama friends, for whom I am so thankful.

One of Daphné’s many birthday parties - this one was for Alice and Emilie.

Riding horses has become her favorite thing of the week.

Monster Truck show - Django even wore his shirt.

Piling in one of the trick cars.

I’m so thankful for our church family - some of the most fun people to hang out with!

Daphné and Lorena jump shot.

Little Smarties is a sweet boy.

Thumbs up from Daphné.

Cousin Nils!

Cousin Noé!

Papi perch.

Faustine’s birthday party at a laser tag place.

3 boys in a tub.

Pile on Cricri!

While Tonio and Pierre were away at a conference in Italy, Nancy helped me scrape our bathroom ceiling.

It snowed!

Tonio and Pierre with the other pastors at the Italy pastor’s conference.

This is Flamme (Flame in English).

They got to ride bareback this drizzly day.

He takes reading seriously.

Daphné’s first sleepover at a friend’s house, Louise.

Lunch with Cricri.

Tonio and I were able to get away for our 13th wedding anniversary (I may do another separate blog post - we’ll see).

Showing Cricri the new bed set up.

I felt like a lifesaver candy.

Walking to the tram!

Cousin ring toss.

Zee French cousins all in zee tub!

Beach day!

A bit windy!

We had 3 Spidermen with us on this Halloweeny day.

No better way to end October than a dip in the pool with cousins and tata Maïna!

Thank you Jesus for all these people and these moments. You are good, so very good.

Love Linz
