One nice thing about growing is that you can be a clown and your goal is to find the things that will make your parents laugh.

I discover by trying my mummy’s shoes I couldn’t move without falling, but I surely could make my parents laugh.

This is the beginning of Elouan the clown.

The goal of the article is to present you the first week of my life spent in winter vacation with my parents.

It was a nice sunny day, my parents charged the van with all our winter belongings and we headed straight to Vallouise with our friends, the Leblanc family. The drive was a little bit long due to the facts that some other families took the liberty to hit the road at the same time which concluded to some slow driving and jams….But we made it and here we were standing in front of the big mountains.

We didn’t wait long before we meet the snow and try the sled.

For those who want to know, I wasn’t very into it.  Not a lot of fun. I was posing just for my parents but I wasn’t in the mood. On the other side, my friend Lucas and his dad were enjoying it very much.

It seems you have to be older to enjoy it.

Lucas’s big thing during the vacation was to try ski. My job was to sponsor him and make sure he was always in the mood. Kind of a manager, but a very tiny one.

As a big sportsman, he was sometimes having hard time and disappointment and I was making sure I was always on his side to comfort him.

Lucas was my big brother during this vacation he taught me so many things, it was just a way to thank him for it.

One afternoon, I went to the kindergarten and the parents went skiing / snowboarding, so I spent time with small kids I had never met, and we played outside all afternoon.

One consequence of this outside stay was that my parents learned I was allergic to too much sun or to the sun cream…but the result speaks for itself….I was disfigured.

So we took it easy. The snow was high in altitude so we went walking in the valley and we enjoyed being in the fresh air.

We had some good mountain food during all the week, but the one meal, Lucas and I enjoyed very much, was the French fries with ham.

Every day, after dinner, we had a reading period with one of the parent in order to peace us a little bit before bed.

But no worries, after a big day in the outside, we were completely tired.

This whole week was sunny with blue sky, we spent a lot of time together and it felt good, but one big thing, which was worth the fries, was the Golden Piou-piou given to Lucas as he succeed his very hard ski test.

No comments, he is my hero.

Hi guys,

2007 is on its way and I am going into this New Year the head first enjoying everything around me and being sure some friends from US will come over and visits us.

For me, New Year Eve was pretty quiet, we partied with Sylvie and I was able to go in bed around 9pm, a big thing for me.

Last minutes for me in 2006, This was it

And first thing in the morning on the 1^st, I was the only one being able to look straight.

No change at all,  I am still the only one awake in this familly

After a lot of request, I give you some of my pictures, but first let me present you Elouan in January 2006.

And now , big change, I am a girl catcher….(still, it does work better on grandmas than child my age, but I am sure this will work better soon.) This is also in case some of you meet me in the street, you'll be able to recognize me.

This year will be for me a big learning year and my dad didn’t wait to teach me guys things…My grand Parents offered me Ikea chairs for Christmas and the big challenge was for me to  build them up by myself, took me a while but I finally succeed.

Results were as expected and I was able to enjoy some relaxing time in the living room as I gave all I had into this.

GUYS, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!
