Officially (Half) French / Officiellement (Moitie) Francaise

We picked up Lily's French passport and identity card today from the town hall. Getting the photo taken was like performing a magic trick as I had to sit her (at 4 weeks old!) on a stool and make her sit up, look straight ahead, keep her eyes open, mouth closed whilst concealing my hands that were holding her head and torso! The end result looks nothing like her but rather a chipmunk with rather full cheeks. Sorry, Lily, but you'll have to wait until your 5 to get a new one.  Fear not Brits, Mummy is on the case to get her British passport...

Nous sommes allees chercher le passport et carte d'identite francais de Lily de la mairie. La prise de photo etait comme un tour de magie car je devais l'asseoir (agee de 4 semaines!) sur un tabouret, lui faire regarder devant, garder ses yeux ouverts, bouche fermee tout en cachant mes mains qui tenait sa tete et ventre. Le resultat final ne lui ressemble pas du tout mais plutot a un ecureil avec des joues bien pleines. Desolee, Lily, mais il va falloir attendre tes 5ans pour le renouveler. N'ayez pas peur les anglois, Mummy est en train de gerer le passport britannique...
