So today was Maxime's initiation into the Catholic church, as well as his official adoption of his God Parents, Claire and Aigi.        Rather than God parents they are more like God families... Paula andChristophe are both just as happy as their respective spouses        Here we are, the ceremony itself, a very friendly and warm affair.Max sports a mozartian style jump suit so as to avoid the traditional longgirly dress...        Anne, Marisa and Jose...

Sadly Claire and Christophe's cat Kheops left our world this morningwithout even going once around the sun. He was a very funny a playfulcat and he will be very sorely missed by all. He loved to hunt, checkout the neighbours, climb trees and much more... Here are some photos of him from new years 2008.

More new clothes! Salopette de mamie Christiane...           Whoops! thats what happens when you try to smile too much!         Another grin...     In the back of dad's car through the window,and standing up, Maxime has quite the desire to do so...              

Today Caroline and myself were feeling artistic and Caroline had the desire to try the new camera ... It was cooler (a good thing) and a bit windy (normal here anyway)today, Maxime didn't seem to mind...       Max's Baby Bjorn, aah memories of the womb...      Caro tries the Baby Bjorn for the first time, ... and likes it!      Maxime's Maxi Cosi without the blue thing, gives his head more room to move!
