This BEAUTIFUL family lives in NYC, but they are French.   They moved here about 9 years ago… right after they married and before they had kids.  Now they have three.  Three fantastic, amazing children.  And why not?  They are fantastic and amazing themselves.  Our history together:  the mom (Vanessa) was my exchange student in FIFTH grade– I went to France for three weeks alone with my class and then a few weeks after we returned, her class came to Michigan and she stayed with us.  We’ve been friends ever since– visiting at least once a year (usually summer, but sometimes not), she was a bridesmaid in my wedding, we all went to her wedding in Paris, have spent time together in Spain, Switzerland, all over France… our parents are friends and visit eachother frequently, etc, etc… it’s truly a beautiful friendship.  Their middle son (Titien) was born one day after my twins– and I had never met him (nor their youngest, Castille) until Thursday… such beautiful names too, right?  (Eva-Lee is the oldest).  Now I’ve met them all… and there will be pressure for her to travel to Dallas soon!  :)  Maybe if I take more pictures of her family like this, she’ll come.  :)  She wanted pictures that represented their life in this neighborhood… they love New York and want to remember their streets and how the kids run and play and live their life here…. I hope I captured that for them!

ENJOY (Vanessa & Vincent…Merci beaucoup pour les belles fleurs… tres gentil!!!)….

Warning… there will be a TON (probably the most I’ve ever posted… so it will take forever to download…. be patient… it is worth it!)  :)
