Originally uploaded by Je suis sophie. I have a piano! Thanks to Lois, a fellow Soprano at the SFLC who needed to find a home for a few years for her piano, we now have a very nice upright in our living room and Evie has already started ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=34 Un an déjà ! Eh oui, Evelyne a eu un an il y a déjà quelques semaines. On a fêté ça en petit commité, juste nous trois. La demoiselle a bien sur été bien gâtée. On dit que le premier anniversaire est surtout pour les parents, que ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=33 You wake us up every night these days, sometimes multiple times a night like last night, and yet, as Bronya says, "you can't get mad at her, she is so beautiful. You want to be mad, but you look at her, and you kiss her a million times". When I ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=32 Evelyne aime : le bain - elle pourrait y jouer pendant des heures wasabi - poursuivre la chatte, lui tirer la queue, lui arracher ses poils, lui taper dessus, lui attraper les oreilles, font partie de ses activites preferees le fromage - elle ADORE le fromage. Tous les fromages. Chevre, cheddar, brie, ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=31 It is scary how sometimes Evelyne changes almost overnight.

The one night we ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=28 I'm trying to get everything ready for the big departure to France on Wednesday. This includes wrapping up a couple of work projects so I'm a bit stressed. I'm mostly worried about how well and how quickly Evelyne will get over the jet lag. Of course, to top it ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=27 Some days, everything goes wrong. Last Thursday was like that. I had a tough day at work with a client who keeps ignoring our recommendations and instead just dictates what the site architecture should be like, what the navigation should look like, and where the content will come from. ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=26 All this time I've been wondering what Evelyne got from me (since it's obviously not facial features). I think I got a bit of a clue today. Twice today she was trying to do something with one of her toys and the toy was not "cooperating". I'm not sure what ... http://www.davoine.com/blog/?p=25 060401-7 Originally uploaded by Je suis sophie. Evelyne is growing up. She looks different each day, even Dylan and I notice it.
