Les jours se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I don't know how to express this French saying in English. It means something like "days follow each other but are always different". Last week, I was complaining that our son was refusing to nap and that he was still sleeping only 10 hours a night, which was definitely not enough ...

Summer is over!

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

We had a wonderful summer. I don't care what the whiners will say: I don't remember any rain stopping us from going hiking or swimming, playing outside in the evening or biking around town. But it could not last forever. And now it's definitely over. After what seemed like months of ...
