Visit with Thierry's grandparents in France - January 4, 2015


 We went to visit Thierry's remaining 3 grandparents on our way back home.  It was great to see them all again.  All of my grandparents have passed away so it is great Thierry has 3 still alive.  His other grandfather passed away 7 months ago so at the time we moved to the Netherlands all 4 of Thierry's grandparents were still alive.  I guess that means Thierry has a long life ahead of him.

 
 
 His grandfather, and godfather, Louis Cailleau is now 95 years old.  He is currently living in an assisted living facility and has problems speaking and remembering all of us but he was very happy we came for a visit and still has his smiling eyes.  Julien's middle name Louis was named after him and the name Julien comes from his great-grandfather Julien on his mother's side.  So he was named after 2 of Thierry's grandparents.  Aurelie was named after my great-grandmother Goldie Lowe on my Mother's side.  Aurelie is the French version of the name Goldie.



 These pictures were taking in the garden and dining area of the Cailleau Grandparents.  We stopped by the house to have lunch and visit with Thierry's Aunt and Uncle as well as his Grandmother Cailleau.
