I received an email today from our good friend Bernard in Nantes, complete with a handful of photos showing the snow they are experiencing in our old neighborhood there. Of those sent, I was drawn to today’s photo as to build a snowman this size requires some serious snow. Even more dramatic, I’m taken by how the snowman’s companions, Théo, Celeste and Claire, have grown since we left Nantes. In fact, I can’t even be sure that’s Celeste (second from the right).
What do you think, does the girl second from the right look like this little girl of 18 months ago?

Absolutely! However wait till you have grandchildren and should they not live near, it can be shocking what changes are wrought in six months. Just have to say, that somehow that snowman looks quite American to me – could he be a reflection of an OLD American friend of the family?
What is really scary is when kids that you have babysat start having kids!
