We are spending New Year's eve in India / On fête le Nouvel An en Inde


I am slowly getting busy organising our trip to India (we are going with Bhavishya's God Father, Sunnil, his sister and 7 other friends...we'll be 11 adults and 7 kids). With Mark travelling so much, it is not easy finding a day where I can "steal" his passport to have our visa's issued. Well, after consulting his diary, Wednesday is the day I shall take my car to Brussels. It a 2 1/2 hour drive if not stuck in trafic. The problem is I need to leave, all the documents in the morning and I will need to pick them up at 5:00PM so I will be stuck in trafic jams both in the morning and in the evening. The +++ is that I shall be doing xmas shopping the rest of the day and I might have lunch with a girl friend.

Tout doucement j'organise notre voyage en Inde (nous partons avec le parrain de Bhavishya, Sunnil, sa soeur ainsi que 7 autres amis - nous serons 11 adultes et 7 enfants). Etant donné que Mark voyage tellement ces temps, il m'est difficile de trouver un jour ou je peux m'accaparer de son passport pour faire faire son visa. Bref, après consulté son agenda, mercredi sera le jour oÙ j'irai à Bruxelles. C'est à 2 h 30 de chez nous si on ne se prend pas les bouchons. Le pb est que je laisse les passports et les autres doc, le matin et je dois revenir chercher le tout vers les 17h00, je serai donc dans les bouchons le matin et le soir! (soupirs). Le + est que je ferai mon shopping de Noël à Bruxelles en attendant 17h 00 et j'irai probablement déjeuner avec une amie.

I've created a closed blog for Bhavishya. if you are interested reading about our trip, please let me know, I'll send you the link.

J'ai crée un blog fermé pour Bhavishya. Si vous désirez lire les péripéties de notre Princesse, veuillez me laisser un commentaire. Je vous donnerai le liens.

Last presents...

Ok...once again...Bhavishya was spoilt rotten this year. We just opened the last presents and it is 8:30PM on December 27! I asked 1 present each and the total came to....46!!! I don't want to sound ungrateful but I wish people would listen to me!

TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH!!! I am not having our Darling Daughter become a rotten spoiled child.

I must admitBhavishya was so so sweet and she wanted to help everyone open their presents but I feel bad about the opulence of everything!

Good bless you all and good night!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

...and it looks like we might have one!

Right now it is -6 degrees C or 21 F and it is 9:30AM! It's been cold for the past 4 days and the ground is frozen solid, so all is white but it is not snowing. Actually the sun is shinning. It is my type of winter weather. Ice cold and sunny.

So I just looked at the forecast and here it is:

Today: Sunny
Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny
Monday: Mostly Sunny
Tuesday: AM Snow / Shower
Wednesday: Rain/ Snow


I might post a picture later on.

Notre 1er invité arrive dans à peu près 4 heures!

JEAN-LUC, ON SE REJOUIT! WE CANNOT WAIT!

My Christmas gift to Mark...Mon cadeau pour Mark...




S I L E N C E!!!


I lost my voice!!!

Je n'ai plus de voix!!!


Bhavishya thinks it's funny the way I speak...she laughs...or shall I say she kills herself laughing!


Bhavishya trouve très drôle la manière dont je parle...elle se marre...je devrais plutôt dire qu'elle se tord de rire!
