. . .  alright I can take a big breath now. . .  all the June madness is done and I can start to think about our upcoming trip to Quebec.

This month (and it's only the 18th) has been filled with non-stop activities starting with Chickpea turning 5 (kids party at home, a party at school and a quite family dinner at home), getting her 5 year old pictures taken, graduating from Pre-K, end of year school parties, a camping weekend, having her first piano recital and finally her end of year ballet performance.   So instead of going on and on about each event, i'll post more pictures.

. . . enfin je peux prendre un grand respire maintenant . . . la folie de juin est passe et je peux commencer a pense a notre voyage au Quebec.

Ce mois a ete rempli sans-arret d'occasion en commencant avec la fete a Chickpea qui a eue 5 ans (une fete d'enfants a la maison, une fete a l'ecole et une fete tranquille en famille), prendre ses photos de 5 ans, sa graduation de la pre-maternelle, les fetes de fin d'annee,un weekend en camping, sa premiere concert de piano et finalement son spectacle de fin d'annee de ballet.  Au lieu d'en parler et parler, je vous donnes plus de photos.
