Happy New Year!

Hello and welcome to 2009 at La Vie en Foussais.

I lost my blogging mojo a little toward the end of the year and ended up somewhat neglecting you, my faithful readers. But fear not, for I am back and ready to update you all on our comings and goings over the last few weeks.

We have been busy preparing for Christmas…
