| 8 (cute) babies, missing one! Will you recognize our little one? ^^ |
A few days ago, we crossed France with our little family to meet 'in real life' 9 other little families. We all met already more than one year ago on a forum, on the very beginning of our pregnancy, we all had a little one on the way due in October 2011.
Il y a quelques jours, nous traversions la France avec notre petite famille, pour rencontrer 'en vrai', neuf autres petites familles. Avec les mamans, nous nous étions toutes rencontrées il y a déjà plus d'un an sur un forum, au tout début de nos grossesses, car nous attendiont toutes une petite merveille pour Octobre 2011.
It was a wonderful and rich experience, meeting them all, and their babies that we all expected with a lot of impatience. On the forum, we are 13, unfortunately, everyone didn't manage to come, because as you can image, it needed a lot of organization!
C'était une expérience très riche de s'être rencontré avec tout nos bébés, eux que nous avions tous attendu avec impatience. Sur le forum, nous sommes 13 au total, mais malheureusement, tout le monde n'a pas pût venir, car comme vous vous en douté sûrement, c'était beaucoup d'organisation !
What I loved the most was the fact that everyone is different. The youngest mother is 19 (well, it's me!), the eldest is 39, one woman is teacher, another one is a nurse... We all have very different stories but all in common the motherhood love for our child.
Ce qui était le plus enrichissant est le fait que nous avons toutes des histoires très différentes. La plus jeune mère avait 19 ans (c'est moi !), la plus âgée en a 39, une maman est professeur, une autre est infirmière... Nous avons toutes des histoires très différentes mais en commun le grand amour maternel pour nos bébés.
I took billion of photos during this journey, here is a few images, taken from phone and camera:
J'ai pris (au moins) des milliards, de photos durant ce voyage, en voici quelques unes, provenant du téléphone ou de l'appareil photo:

I always used to be very solitary, but it made me want even more to experience longer the community living with other families, we only have to learn from other persons.
