Happy Easter!

As Claire's dad is retiring at the end of April, her parents have started moving into their apartment in Paris, and are now almost all moved in.There are a few boxes left to unpack (mostly books!) and lots of pictures to still hang on the walls, but it is very close to being done. Today was the second big lunch we had there (the first one being Gabriel's 26th birthday on April 2nd).

Happy Easter everyone! We hope it is full of joy wherever you are.
