And here is what's inside: the coasters, a cd, the glasses bag, your candy, the flag, a teddy bear, a cookbook with american reciepes,a few "shopping list" papers and a card. I hope she likes it all, i probably could have done more but i think it's cute. Thanks again for your help. Here is the inside of the cookbook:

i'm soo excited

And you're gonna be excited too... Seb and i talked about my trip to the U.S and if you help me i should be able to come in August!!!! I'll probably come from August 26th til august 31st... I know it's not a long time but i can't stay any longer because school starts in september and i can't be away from my baby for too long! (Jules won't come with me unfortunately because it's such a long trip!) Too bad i won't be around for your b-day! Anyways, i'll look at the plane tickets soon and tell you how much they are. I can't wait! LOVE YOU!

swap

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I got the candy... you're the best! i can't wait to finish preparing everything for the swap... It should be a pretty cool package! I can already show you the coasters i made. I used red and yellow paint, then i glued questions about the U.S on one side and answers on the other:

I'm going to make a small cookbook, i know the person i'm sending all this to wears glasses so i prepared a little "glasses bag": I'm also going to send a cd with american songs (i know she loves "hotel california" , "grease", "lemon tree" and of course i'll add Dave, Ben Harper, Justin Nozuka, Otis Redding, Jason Mraz and more...) i'll show you soon! Thanks again for your contribution!

bathroom

here it is!!!! it's not completly finished but at least you can have an idea of what it's like:

turtle neck

hey girlie girl... i've been thinking A LOT about your offer for August but i can't decide what to do... I need a few weeks to decide... Until i do here is the turle necks i've been making:

clown!!!

yesterday was carnival day at school!!! The theme was "circus" and of course i was a clown... (the one with the green glasses!) i was exhausted by the end of the day because it's stressful to walk around the neighbourhood with 100 excited kids!!! But it was fun!

no translation needed

Jules says it all... I had a bad day today... I went to work with my bicycle but the breaks don't work well and i didn't want to hit a car so i i about fell! I have an enormous bruise on my leg and it hurts!!!! Oh well, that's what you get when you decide to work out a bit i guess... Being lazy is way less painful!

security blanket???

It's not a blanket but a teddy bear... Do you still call it a security blanket? We bought the musical bear before Jules was born, then my mom's aunt bought the teddy bear which he adopted, so yesterday we bougth a second one so that we can wash them without breaking his heart! Seb's cousin got us the small one for his troller and we got two more when we bought his baby's mobile... So here is Jules' Bear family:

hospital

we decided to take Jules to the hospital on tuesday around 9 pm because he was coughing so much he couldn't catch his breath or go to sleep! He and i spent the night there because the doctor said he needed oxygen but they never gave it to him because once he'd fallen asleep (around 1 am) he was ok! They took and x-ray of his chest the next day but he's ok. he just needs his nose to be cleaned 4 times a day... He should be better soon. He was so cute on Tuesday night, falling asleep in our arms... But when we'd put him into bed he'd wake up and cry... anyways, he's all better now... Here is what we had to do to help him breath (and it didn't help at all)
