Every day Happenings

Eliana loves her stuffed animals and more than anything, she likes to put them in piles; whether it be on me, on the floor, or in her toy box.

In our old townhouse, Eliana had a drawer that was just for her. And one of her favorite things inside were the popsicle molds.

I found a bat!

Grandma and Grandpa's Trip to Seattle
My mom came to watch Eliana for a week while Nate and I went on a week-long trip to Paris. My dad was able to come up mid-week to help my mom. We can't tell you thank you enough, Mom and Dad. Our trip was amazing and we never once were worried about Eliana being cared for. We are so thankful for our time there - thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The weekend before we left for Paris, we ran the Magnolia Bluff 12K run. This was my mom's first race and she did amazing! Elle Belle lasted the whole race, entertained by all the runners out.

Go, Grandma, Go!!

We're so proud of you, Grandma!!

The morning after we arrived back from Paris. So happy to see each other!!

Thank you, Grandma! I love you!!

Our trip to Paris

In mid-October, Nate and I spent a week in Paris. We rented an apartment in the Montorgueil neighborhood and were tremendously lucky with the weather. It was in the 60's every day but the last, which allowed us to ride the city, Velib bikes, around for a couple hours/day. Having been there before, we felt no pressure to sigh-see, so instead, we ate, drank and rode bikes through the city. It was a great week and feel so lucky to have gone knowing my parents were taking great care of Eliana. I am still tasting the pain au chocolat, but knowing we will return sooner than later.
