I see London, I see France

That was Leah (and her mom and dad) for seven days in Europe. Leah's an international traveler. There's no going back to simple domestic trips now!!

We landed in London and about 24 hours later made our way to Paris. First stop - a brasserie for some steak and potatoes! Next to the hotel, then to a boat, a Parisian apartment for a delicious home cooked dinner with old and new friends, the Musee d'Orsay, a creperie, the 11th district, the Jewish Marais and then back to London. In London we hung out at Borough Market, St. John's Wood (and took the expected Abbey Road photo), had a lovely night out in Westbourne Park, a morning in, then off to the Science Museum, then stopped at a cafe, and later had a cocktail and finally dinner with old friends and live jazz near Swiss Cottage. Phew!

Here is a tiny sample of the 300(+) photos taken!!

Passed through security check!

October 2009

The intention of this blog wasn't to document every single event in Leah's life. It was a bit surprising how much we actually kept up with it.

I will admit there was A LOT of endorphins, adrenaline, (somethin'!) running through my veins when Leah was first born. But even without the help of biology, we didn't stop posting at least a few times a month until now.

What happened to October?!

The theory of what happened:

Being a parent keeps getting better and better and Leah's more and more fun to be around. In October her personality came to the forefront - she walks, she talks, she mimics, she has opinions, she is a full blown toddler. In September I kept looking at her with this kinda scratching-my-head kind of feeling, "This was a lump! And now look at her."

In October I stopped thinking that and I just enjoyed her. We enjoyed her so much that we didn't share. But we did snap a lot of photos.

When life hands you lemons. . .
