Lover, Justin, Herd Bird etc.
Ice, Ice, Baby…..do do do do do do do do.
Tonight we went to an AMAZING Moroccan restaurant! Seriously, if any of you come to Paris, you must ask Justin (not me because i am horrible at directions) where exactly this amazing restaurant is! Jill, if you are reading this, we are going there when you and Sean get here! SERIOUSLY DELISH and a great atmosphere!!! On to why I am posting this. Maisie was really hungry on our way home from the delish restaurant and started to get really fussy. For some reason Justin doesn’t know ANY little kid songs. I don’t think his family was into musicals and nerdy song things like mine was…no offense mom, it was nerdy. But fun!!!!! After trying to entertain Maisie with one of my childhood favorites…something about a king with a big nose ring…I decided to bust out a little Vanilla Ice so Justin could join in. Somehow I sitll have most…

Justin has been gone in Spain for a five days on a research trip with our organization. He called me the night he arrived to tell me it looked like Southern California with all the palm trees. I did not take this news well as I was looking out at a rainy Paris neighborhood. I was happy for him to be there, but bummed that I couldn’t be enjoying the sun with him! Maisie and I had a fun girls nights together. We watched movies, invited friends over, pigged out on junk food (she did too in a way I guess), and played fun girly games…you know, like peek-a-boo. It was a fun time to have just us, but I think we are both ready to see Justin again. We both missed him. I always lay in bed for my last feeding with Maisie and Justin is always sitting next…

Cozy cozy cozy! Maisie LOVES to nap in our bed! She’s already been to Notre Dame! Having a little girl is so much fun! She loves her stroller rides! She also loves her headband that keeps her hair out of her eyes… Justin and Maisie at our favorite cafe called Place Verte. It is sooooo great to be able to sit outside in the beautiful weather! Paris in the spring is the best!!!!
Read MoreMake a Wish
Staring at us in the eye for one and a half months now, has been a wishbone from our turkey on Christmas day. It began to blend in with the rest of our kitchen items on the windowsill. I think we pretty much forgot it was there. But a couple days ago, Justin realized it was there as he was cleaning off the counter. (on a side note, that is pretty disgusting that we just had a BONE on our windowsill that long…sick!) "Hey, let’s make a wish!" I agreed, as I had a lot to wish about during this time in my life. A lot to wish for. As we each grabbed a side, we took a second to make our wish. When we were good and ready, we then pulled our sides and SNAP!!! The winner of the wish was………no one. It broke at equal parts and the…

Justin and Maisie danced tonight. Maisie loves to be moving. She mostly loves us to hold her and move and we have found that it is more fun if we dance, so often times we will dance with her. Watching a little one month old baby (my baby!) dance with her daddy was really one of the more precious things I have ever seen. Justin held Maisie as if they were doing the waltz, with her little arm out. It was like something you might see in a movie! When Justin looked down at Maisie he found her staring into his face. He looked back up and said with tears in his eyes, "I don’t want to dance with you at a wedding," meaning Maisie’s wedding. Oh Justin is such a softy! He loves his little girl!!! (Oh, if you didn’t "get" my title, I am sort of joking…

I love being married to Justin. One of the things I love is how he just sits in the living room and plays guitar and sings. It is fun and makes me feel like I am married to a rockstar. Ok, not really, but I still like it a lot. It is funny because as soon as I came into the living room where he was singing and playing guitar the baby started kicking like crazy. I would like to think that it was one of it’s first dances to Justin’s music. Fun. Justin is going to be such a good dad. Oh! Justin has had the opportunity to play in a band in Paris (that wasn’t in a church gathering) a few times. Here are a few pictures! Justin was able to play in one of the hundreds of bands around Paris at the Fete de la Musique, which…
Read MoreSeven things I want to share with you…
1. I feel like there is an alien living in my belly. The kicks are starting to be strange to me as they happen in the same place every few hours. I can already tell the sleep pattern of this baby! And is it normal to kick ONLY on the right side??? 2. Justin felt it kick! I can no longer say I am the only one to feel it. (Yes mom, IT!) 3. I am going to call my baby an it, not on purpose, but "it" comes out of my mouth without thinking about it. Sorry mom. "IT" is my it and I love it. 4. I ate some really great Mexican food tonight. Thought I’d let you know, because I love Mexican food. 5. Had a WONDERFUL date with my amazingly precious husband. We had a blast walking by the river and catching up on some much…
