Nesting - April 2008

Our "nesting" has inspired us to clean out & organize our entire house!
We even cleaned out the attic!

Jacob is such an organizer... our attic is now immaculate!

The following pictures were taken while we were organizing the attic and the playroom. Christian helped for a while, then he started reading.

The next picures are our very own "Where's Waldo" series starring Christian...

Can you find him?

In this last shot, he's spotted me with the camera!

Ever wonder why I'm speaking French to Isaac?

I started taking French in the third grade in Louisiana, and the French language and culture is definitely one of my passions.
When I was pregnant with Isaac, I read two books on bilingual babies, and Jacob and I decided that I should try to speak only French to Isaac. It wasn't a decision that we took lightly. I struggled with questions like, "Since Jacob and Christian don't speak French, will this put a divide in our family?" and "Will this make Isaac struggle with English?" These questions still come to mind occasionally, but overall, we decided we'd probably regret it if I didn't at least give it a try.
So, I speak French to Isaac as much as possible. It's definitely good for me because it keeps me learning... you just don't learn things like "drool" and "baby bib" in a textbook!
So, I'm learning a lot, but it's still left to be determined what Isaac thinks of it all... we'll have to see what he says first, "Mommy" or "Maman."
