After Germany

We got back to Paris and my in law family came the day after. Everyone was happy especially Pilar who got to play almost at all time with his cousin Sophia. They're really unseparable :)

Then we went vacationing again to southern france and this time around we managed to visit the purplish plateaux full of lavender and the gorgeous lac st croix in the verdun. Nice, Eze and Monaco were part of our visit too.

Then another weekend getaway to normandy and brittany to visit the majestic mont saint michel, saint malo, and a pretty little town Honfleur.

Vacation story is as always fascinating but in between, kids got sick. Pilar had few times a fever due to virus. Iris got bacterial infection. I was wondering what went wrong. They always had enough meal and drink. I dont usually give them supplements but i will probably start from now on. Especially when they get too excited and just wont stop running around when they're not asleep.

Bapak and mamah are coming this weekend for a long 3 months stay with us. I hope and pray all our plans will be smoothened and everyone is always in good health.

PS, i also hope they're happy to come and enjoy their whole stay with us. It's my ultimate happiness Allah, You know that ;)

2nd surprise (as posted on instagram and facebook): LEGOLAND!

Ied Mubarak 2016

We nailed the surprise visit to Mannheim while husb was there. He said he had null clue that we were preparing a surprise. Alhamdulillah, we had our Ied together even though we're far from home.
And we finally visited Heidelberg, a pretty german gem i could say. We climbed up the hill by a funiculaire to enjoy the magnificent view.
Oh wait son, i'm still keeping one more surprise. But this one us specially for you. You'll find out soon.. like, tomorrow 😜

I just had to write this

Last night, when hub was already left for Germany, i was having one of those migraine attacks, in the middle of fasting. As usual, as the stomach got emptier, the pain got heavier, as well as the nausea. Pilar had a fever since 7pm so i took him to bed earlier and gave the paracetamol. I was with Iris combatting the migraine and insisting not to break the fast as it was already close to sunset. Perhaps i was wrong.
From 9pm the pain just got unbearable and Pilar woke up from his sleep. I said to him that i was having this headache so please understand since i couldn't be so much at help. He was having a fever too :( i said the same thing to Iris. i think she somehow got the point and just played by herself.
At one point i was so much in pain, Pilar, while he himself was laying down and trying to resist his fever, held me and rubbed my back. After i broke the fast and got a medicine (couldn't eat anything because of the nausea), all of us went to bed. I told him to pray so he'd get better. He told me he'd pray for both of us to get better (*tears*).
Thank you Allah for this special one You trust in us. I know i'm far from being a good human but with him beside me i'm willing to try better.
Thank you Pilar.  Stay humble, stay kind. Love you bunch!
