Flowers in Lille.

We drive into France occasionally to buy a few things we cannot find in Belgium. We go to a large mall in Lille. These lovely flowers are outside the train station there.

Sitting with Papa.

We did not have the tripod with us, so we tried.

We ended up asking someone to take a picture for us.

A bit of belly again and flower pants!

Getting to know crayons.

Sébastien was able to bring a huge roll of large paper home. We use it to draw with Léa. Of course she is like every other kid and wants to chew on the crayons and taste them you know. She did in the end make a few marks around and on top of our drawing.

Her she is just holding onto the crayons after I put them out for her.

Trying them out a bit.

I guess she wanted a fresh page.

The finishing touches for today. Papa said she looked guilty of something in this one.

Hard Rock dancing.

Léa seems to like all sorts of music, but prefers some of Papa's. She also just loves to dance. I like when she does some steps on her tippy toes.

Windmills.

On our return drive from Rotterdam we stopped in Kinderdijk,Holland to see the windmills. There are suppose to be 19 total. I think I only managed to count 18, but I am sure I just missed one. It was cloudy, but we took pictures anyways. I hope to go back another time. We can try for sunny pictures and there is a gift shop I would like to look around in.

There they are.

A grander view.

Of course one of us.

Really neat to see them.

With a garden.

Netherlands beach.

We decided to stop by a beach this time too. We found out that Léa likes the beach. She really enjoyed playing in the sand. And you can see a bit more belly here.

Feeling the sand fall through our fingers.

Sitting with Papa.

See the belly?

Very nice idea.

She really likes playing in the sand.

Nevotel Rotterdam.

We decided to take another trip to Rotterdam and stay at the same hotel. She wanted to help pack, but I wasn't planning on taking any of the dwarves. I also told her she would be much more comfortable in the car than the suitcase.
Too cute.

I like her hair in this profile picture.

We were on one of the high floors. The view was spectacular.

We even watched the bridge come back down.

Léa looking out some more.

A night view.

A new ride.

With another child to come we wanted to have more of a family car. More space and more comfort. It is super sweet! And we took pictures to match one of the old car.

Léa had been sleeping.

Then and...

now!
