Souvenirs and nice dinners

When you give birth in the middle of summer, two things happen: first, most of your friends are out there having fun and travelling while you waddle your way to your last pre-natal appointments, and when you give birth, you send them messages because they're far away. Second, when they come back, they bring gifts from far away places, which is just great!

Jé came over for dinner. I should say : Jé came over WITH dinner. He arrived carrying two large containers of home-made couscous, with the very clear purpose of filling my freezer. That, my friends, is friendship! he also had brought gifts from his summer travel: a nice bear and magnet from London, and a toy from Berlin. Nothing from Paris (my friend C took care of that!) or Amsterdam, but I explained you can't get too demanding!

Lovely time, wonderful meal. It's when I spend time with my friends that I realize the most the changes brought by my baby boy. He is here, truly, really here!
