Monday April 30 - Happy Bday Mom!

I think this was actually on Sunday, but I have to mention all the wonderful meals we were fed while in Annecy. Thank you!
We loved helping give Elena her bath!
She's gonna be a great mom someday isn't she? (no she's not pregnant yet...)
We have deep gratitude for Mithona's parents who let us stay with them while we were in Annecy. They are such fantastic people with an amazing story to tell. They are from Cambodia, a country they left by walking through mine fields in the middle of the night to a refuge camp in Thailand. After more than 2 years in a refuge camp they were given visas to move to France, where they have established their lives and raised their children. You should check out the film "The Killing Fields" starring the lawyer from Law and Order and John Malcovitch telling the Cambodian story. It was very poignant for us after having heard their story.
