Jardin means Garden

A few weeks after Abel got here, I was putting Jude to bed.  Here's our conversation.

J: Mommy, did you know that having an exchange student is fun for the student from the other country and fun for the family?

Hopefully, the pictures live up to Abel's standards!

We couldn't figure out this art piece, but we did take advantage of the reflection for a family portrait.
