Young Alban (1989-1996)
Check out this mischievous expression on the right! Yet it was a bit of a worrying time for Alban, after his ear surgery in September 1995. He was not yet 7. You can see the hospital band-aid on his wrist.
Here he is on the left beside l'étang de Carentoir, near La Grée, grandpa's home in Brittany, in August 1992. There's something about sand which inspires our children! Here's Tom covered in the stuff at a similar age.
Alban was always eating bread during his early years, and his maman took the one below right when he was about a year old and living in Paris. Several of the photos on this page were taken before our family blended, when Alban and Daphné lived with Maman and Pierre, their dad.
Anything that Alban does that is the least bit athletic, he does well. Below is a wonderful shot, taken when he was less than a year old, showing how early these athletic impulses first manifest themselves!
For a while mountain biking was his thing, and for many years it was soccer. He doesn't yet know (in 2007) what he wants to do when he grows up, but he has graduated High School, and choices are looming!
