We are one crazy family!!!

Something interesting that I have noticed with Maisie is she doesn’t smile all the time like other little goo goo babies.  She is very serious.  I am not saying she never smiles, but she won’t give you the polite little smile just for giving her a pleasant look.   I think she wanted to fake me out yesterday because I came into the room and caught her in the act of drawing on a fake smile.  Who does she think she is trying to fool me like this?

Justin and I are in love with middle eastern food.  My best friend from high school is Lebanese and we would come home after school and eat delicious homemade Lebanese foods till we couldn’t eat anymore!  When Justin and I moved into our apartment on Montparnasse we were blessed by the most delicious Lebanese restaurant right across the street.  We would eat there several times a week…pretty much whenever I didn’t cook.  So this last weekend I was motivated by Laina to start cooking at home more.  I did it tonight.  I made a whole Lebanese feast!  It was my first time ever and I have to say it wasn’t that bad.  The hummus was a bit chunky (our blender is going downhill) and the baba ganoush was a bit too runny.  Other than that, it was delicious and I learned for next time!   Here is a picture of all…

I was recently informed that my mother in law Ann had been telling people that the ISH in my blog stood for Fetish!  Ha ha!  She is so funny!  Just wanted to clarify to all of you who may have thought this, that it in fact stands for issues!  If it were fetishes, you would have maybe found pictures of me licking Justin’s big hairy toe (ew!), but instead you get pictures of when my eye got swollen out of control or pictures of my new mullet.  Fetishes I don’t have, but issues…I have many!

Yesterday we went and visited Christian and Nadine and their new little Nina!  She is sooooo precious and only seven days old!  Nadine’s mom is in town and made us some AMAZING traditional Palestinian food!  YUM!!!  We love love love Christian and Nadine and are so very sad to be moving away from them, especially now that we both have little girls!  I already nicknamed Nina “Neeners”.  She is so cute!  Maisie didn’t quite know what to think of her, but she was pretty interested in watching her new Parisian best friend.   We ended the night with a little breastfeeding sesh (session).  How ridiculous is it that I look like I am nursing a toddler compared to little Nina?!?  I know it may be weird to post pictures of two moms breastfeeding, but I just thought these were too cute!  And you can see how discreet we are!  In my…
