>My parents were just here for a 10-day stay. They had a great time playing with Theo (as did Theo with them). We also took the took a trip to the Southwest of France (to the Figeac area) and a quick one to the Alps. All in the all, we had great weather.

>Princess Chloé de Castres

May 5, 2007

>Last weekend, Anne-Laure, Theo and I went to Castres to visit our friends Nath, Axel and their daughter Chloé. Theo and Chloé had a blast chasing each other everywhere while the parents caught up on lost time.

The highlight for the kids was our trip to the local park…once we explained that there was enough green for both of them to play on.
