A day with Gilbert

Although we dressed for the heat wave today, the fog came in and it cooled off little by little. By the evening, all of our windows were closed.













Julian cut his own hair this morning, then joined the rest of us to visit Gilbert who has been cutting our hair for more than 10 years. The kids love him as well, but they also love the Legos Gilbert gives them to play with and the post-haircut treats at the French coffee shop next door.













Alexander is always a great sport and climbs right up in the chair as soon as my turn is over. He likes to watch himself in the big mirror, laughs when Gilbert sprays his hair, and goes right back to the Legos when he's done.


Charlotte gets a bit more nervous, but always has a smile on her face when she realizes there was nothing to worry about.

Or maybe it was the croissant that made her smile.
