I had never been to a football game in my life until a few weeks ago when Jean-Baptiste’s football club got some invitations for the game against Bastia (read more about that game here, here and here). Some of you will think it is a shame and that I had never lived until then. But be reassured dear readers.
I have now been TWICE. Yes I know, this sounds crazy. TWICE in a row. Continue reading “Another visit to the stadium”
We had a good Sunday.The sun was shinning. I was leading the service, and Emmanuel Hartiel was preaching. In the afternoon, the children played quietly in their bedroom when we were having a rest (that’s rather unusual). We than went for a walk and had waffles back home. The rest of the afternoon was spent as a family, watching Scooby Doo 2 on VOD (free of charge this month).
Maxime has had a cold and didn’t sleep very well, but that’s fine. He is with us today and I hope he can be back in school tomorrow.
Benjamin was born at 6:10 am, on Thursday 21st October 2011 in the local hospital. He was very civilized and let us sleep most of the night. But from about 3 o’clock everything went quickly. We left home at about 5:35, got to the hospital a few minutes later and to the ward at about 5:45. We were well looked after by two experienced midwives.
The advantage of Benjamin being born in France is that Esther was able to stay 4 days in hospital to rest and wait for the milk to arrive. She was well looked after and had an individual room. In contrast, Maxime was born in Cardiff and Esther stayed one night in  a big room with at least a dozen beds.
They both came home on monday and we are all adjusting to life with a baby again. Jean-Baptiste and Maxime are very happy to have a baby at home and are fascinated to look at him.
Esther and I got married ten years ago today. No special celebration, but gratefulness for God’s goodness to us over the last ten years. We’ve been blessed with two sons and another child is on its way.
We had a lovely time on Friday evening with Naomi and her parents. Naomi will be working with the church this year. Her dad is a minister in North Yorkshire, he is also involved with Evangelical press in the UK. It was good to meet him and his wife. They are in Guingamp for the weekend and he will be preaching with us on Sunday.
