do you know of any French programs that offer work (perhaps teaching english!) to Americans? Specifically a young American, about to graduate college with a degree in Art History (minors in French and English)? I’ll do just about anything though.
/can you just let me babysit and teach Capucine english? :0P
any ideas you could give me would be totally awesome. you can email me at alexkay.ash@gmail.com if you want!

I’ll make some more searching after the move !
Hope this helps already :-)

Our moving is going really great. The house movers are just adorable and they’re doing a great job. We’ll spend our last night here tonight, and will be in our new home tomorrow afternoon :-)
But god, RV and I must be getting old because our backs hurt so much ! :-D
We celebrated Epiphany yesterday with a “Galette des Rois” (King Cake), a day early because of the moving today.
To follow the tradition, Capucine, as the youngest person of the house, had to sit under the table and name the recipients of the shares. A trinket (la fève) is hidden inside the cake, and the person who gets it becomes the “King”.
With Aliocha’s approval, we cheated a little bit and we gave the share containing the trinket to Capucine. She was very happy to wear her paper crown and she chose Aliocha as her “King” for the day :-)
“La galette des rois”, filled with yummy frangipane and a beautiful trinket.
And last one for today :-)

Marie, my grandmother. I wish I had known her.
This is my mom when she was little. Does she remind you of someone ?
Going through old family pictures while finishing packing :-)
This photograph was taken in June 1919 in Salonika (Greece), where my ancestors had settled after being expelled from Spain, following the Alhambra decree in 1492.
On the left is my great grandmother Mathilde, and the child next to her is Marcel, my maternal grandpa, who died in 1998, a few months after Aliocha was born. Marcel was 7 on this picture, and emigrated to France when he was 12.
This is the oldest photograph I have of my family and I keep it like a treasure. :-)
We received this adorable drawing from Renata today. Renata is from Brazil and she is a designer and illustrator.
Capucine was all “ooooh” and “aaaah” and “oh la laaa !”:-)
Thank you for this adorable present, Renata ! We love it !
