Tralalère !
I am the very lucky mother of Capucine and Aliocha.
Welcome to our world, and more.

I think I found Capucine’s future husband :-D
Seriously, this kid rocks ! And the look of joy on his face when he plays is just priceless. :)
“ Petite Capucine has captured my heart and will own it forever. As Maurice Chevalier sang, “Thank Heaven for little girls.” Thanks, Capucha for sharing her with a lonely, old soldier with no children of his own. Much love in your family, I can tell.
A moving comment on “Too much candy”. It made me happy and a little sad too.
I am also amazed at how many people opened a Vimeo account just to comment on that video. :)

Burma cyclone kills more than 10,000 people
“On Monday, the country’s official newspaper “New Light of Myanmar” confirmed that the referendum, the first of its kind after 18 years, would take place as planned.
The decision angered a large part of the Burmese population. “We hardly have anything to eat, and they want to send us to vote!” exclaimed an irate Burmese citizen, affected by the cyclone, to FRANCE 24’s correspondent Cyril Payen.
Payen qualifies the junta’s decision as “surrealist” at a time when “half the population is completely cut off from the world.” Furthermore, the junta is reported to have warned the population against abstention. According to Payen, the military said that “there should be at least one vote per home”, failing which the head of the family could face six months in prison.”
