It couldn't happen to a nicer family. How much fun for everyone! <br /><br />The pictures are absolute gems. I don't suppose you have any idea how much you and your maman resemble each other? I thought so. You've heard it umpteen million times. Still, it bears repeating. You're both lovely. <br /><br />I do so hope the weather cooperates for your parents. <br /><br />Also, I hope to see you later this summer. <br /><br />Big bisous, M-TMarie-Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834644226980732441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-54187027977578263252013-04-16T07:34:06.903-07:002013-04-16T07:34:06.903-07:00Merci beaucoup Kim.
