Ready to enjoy a lovely dinner at Pomme in celebration of Raph's birthday.

Our girl was such a little lady at dinner.

Sophia enjoyed spending time with Grand-Pierre and loved hearing him read stories.

Fun at the playground.

Aunt Anna came for the day! We are all set for our tea party!

After Sophia went down for her nap, my able assistants suited up to help me bake Raph's birthday cake. We would have made Julia Child proud!

Let the baking begin!

G-P looking lovely in his apron!

Anna whipping the egg whites into submission.

Toasting the birthday boy!

Posing with the masterpiece! To quote Sophia, "This cake is AMAzing!"

Birthday celebration round 3 at Supper Club. Bridget baked Raph's favorite chocolate cake.

Our last evening with G-P celebrating the news of Baby Boy Sydnor! Thanks Mom and Dad for the beautiful flowers!

Sophia with her Pop and Grand-Pierre.

It was an exciting week enjoying a much needed Spring Break, having Pierre-Maurice visit from France, celebrating Raph's 33rd birthday, and learning that Baby #2 is a boy! It had been a year since our last visit with G-P and it was wonderful to catch up in person. Sophia kept him well entertained and she loved hearing G-P read stories and to keep her company in the back seat on car rides. The weather was perfect and Raph and his Dad were able to go for lots of runs around campus. We enjoyed lots of yummy meals and birthday cakes celebrating Raph and our new addition arriving in July!
