Chelsea and Sacha came home this eve to celebrate French Husband's birthday tomorrow. Though we started celebrating the moment we picked them up from the train.

Golden light reflection along the coastline in L'Estaque (way off the beaten path).

Watching the sun go down creating a landscape of pale blue and white ribbons with cotton candy stripes lining the sky.

French smiles.

Tomorrow birthday candles.

Soon to be the Birthday Boy.

    Happy Birthday Yann, may your year be filled with bunnies, bubbles, bath tubs (large ones) and plenty of mischief…you’re turning into Benjamin Button!! Loving the beautiful azure colour of your shirt. Have a brilliant birthday!
    Keep the videos coming Corey, such fun to watch and makes me feel as if I’m back in Provence with you.

    Yes, love the videos. Although a recent one has me reflecting… About two weeks ago my husband and I got away for a few days and while walking through a cute little town he saw a bronze pony,(life size) and of course immediately climbed on it. It was right next to the sidewalk and I’m sure hundreds of children have climbed on it but for some reason it bothered me that he would. After watching your video of Yann riding the carousel and both of you having a good laugh I’m wondering why it bothered me so much when my husband was being goofy. There was a time I would have just laughed about it. Well, a good reminder to just relax and enjoy life.
