Latest happenings

On September 1st it was the twins birthday. Here they are.

We sent them out for the day to Paris with James, Dan and DJ. James and Dan (of Spirit Tree) have been at our house for the past week recording thier album, yee haw. And DJ was visiting, what timing...

When they came home we had a nice table set out aperitif, champagne and so on and then a nice Chilean dinner and dessert.

Here are our bevy of beautiful girls. From L to R Celeste, Benedicte, Sophie, Agnes, Monica and Angelique.

Of course we ended with a classic Paris home party. I will say no more and show only this (as to protect the identities of the guilty).

Here's the video we made for Marie-Claire. We want to give a big thank you to Brian. Without him this project would have never gotten off the ground and turned out so well. Also a big thank you to Tino who worked with Brian to mix and finalise it. God Bless you both.

Feel Alive

Last week Brian was at our place for a few days to film a "music video" of our song Feel Alive. For those who don't know, Feel Alive was a song that Michael and David wrote for Marie-Claire (younger sister) who went to be with the Lord on the night before Easter in 2002. She was 13.

It was a good two days of work. In between rain and sun we managed to get it all done, more or less.

Sorry this is the only photo that I have right now from the filming, just Brian and I.

Josephine's Birthday

On the 27th of May it was Josephine's birthday. She turned two and she's 97cm./38in. tall. Benedicte and Agnes made a cake (the best cake makers in the world, by the way). We've been very busy lately and we weren't able to celebrate it on her birthday but we managed a few days later to squeeze it into an hour of our afternoon. It turned out real well, TTL.

The whole home was present to sing Happy Birthday. Josephine had lots of fun but most of all she was excited about being allowed to blow out her candles as many times as she liked. We had strawberry shortcake and ice cream (which she loves), dancing, lots of balloons, music, presents, all in all a very fun birthday.

Wordstock IV

First off we want to thank all those responsible for getting us to Wordstock IV. Those who stayed home with our kids and kept the fires burning. ALl those who helped us fundraise. A big thanks to the homes in Texas who put us up for the days before and after Wordstock. You made it worth it all.
