Lucie and the kids returned from France at the end of the week. Dean had a bachelor's week: camping, canoeing, jet skiing, and lots of restaurants with friends. And all of this without taking any more vacation days!
Ask Felix about his trip, and he'll tell you that "in France, houses are made out of blocks, and cereals are made out of miel" (miel = honey, as in Honey Cheerios). The rest was pretty much the same as Berkeley.
Lucie had been looking forward to her flight back home, alone with the boys, about as much as she had been looking forward to giving birth. However, it went surprisingly well -- they all came out of the plane smiling -- and everyone's mostly over their jet lag.
