Friends from Montana

There are some friends that visit, and there are some friends that just can’t resist the urge to come back… THREE times!!! My dear friend Leah is such a gift, and I cherish every moment I have with her. This visit, she brought the WHOLE family. Enjoy some pictures!

Selfie.

Since Daphné and Django had school, I went to the beach with Leah and her kiddos. Meanwhile, our husbands were hiking in the French Alps.

Love this girl.

Eli and Tonio at the trail head of their hike.

Family dinner.

The kids became close.

Daphné and Vera spent time together way back in 2019, when Daphné was only 4. It’s fun to see their friendship rekindle.

Here they are in 2019 dressed up like Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. So stinking cute!!!

6 years later in 2025, here they are ready for beach day.

The beach is always more fun with the paddle board.

And with a T-bird like mine =).

Post-beach chores, drying everything out.

Treats from our favorite bakery.

Movie night and ice cream. The 43 is still up from Tonio’s birthday.

Café date.

Waiting for the bus.

Leah, the city girl, lives in Montana. Lindsey, the country girl, lives in Nice. Go figure. God has a fun sense of humor!

LEGO construction.

Daphné and Vera drawing.

Nuggets and fries!

Our families together. This picture makes me so happy.

Leah got to meet our amazing Tata Cricri.

Another beach day.

Love these girls. And those faces. Classic!

Sea glass collection society.

Another great afternoon at the Mediterranean Sea.

Grant and Vera wanted to walk the kids to school on their last day with us.

Eli came too.

Always hard to say good-bye to special people we love.

And there they go to catch the train to Paris.

And since they were still in the same time zone in Paris, we facetimed to help our sad girls be less sad.

Dear Leah, Eli, Grant, Vera and Drake, we LOVED having you visit us. Thank you so much. One of these days, we’ve got to come visit you guys on your side of the world!

Love Linz
