Claire goes to Kindergarten

Today Claire had her first day of kindergarten. It was such an exciting day for all of us. We had Luc and Derek with Claire and I as we watched her board the bus with the rest of the kids in our neighborhood and head off to school. We're so proud of our little girl as she starts this important part of her life!

Hope you enjoy the photos and big hugs to you!

What a fun day!

My Birthday!

Last week we celebrated my birthday here in Stamford, CT. We had Derek's Mom visit us for a few days from Newport and spent some "chill" time down at the beach and having a really nice lobster dinner at home. No big parties for me this year, but it was nice to spend a relaxing couple of birthday days with family and friends. Derek surprised me with a nice dinner out on Thursday night and a "special" gift that I've wanted ever since I was a child growing up in Paris. So sweet!

Enjoy the photos and big hugs to you!

Week in Las Vegas

The whole family and I spent last week in Las Vegas for David Neagle's ERS. It was a great time and we really enjoyed being able to spend time both with Derek and the kids and some of my closest colleagues/friends. The weather was *so* hot and dry, not like the weather we usually have back here on the east coast. We spent almost every day at the pool, either for lunch with the kids or on the days off from the event. You can check out more photos and videos on my Facebook link.

Talk to you soon and big hugs to you!
