From the Mouths of (Our) Babes

Outside our Paris apartment, I found Avery, busy with the iPhone. Next to him was a big crate of lettuce and another of tomatoes, from the cafe at the front of the courtyard where we stayed. Very European for some reason...

Avery and Sashee at the Musee Science...Real Statue of Liberte model. Walker helping Avery a bit in the tight quarters. Awesome tiny cars.

Avery was ready for take off. We arrived and visited a park with Pop Tom and Sashee... We hatched some plans. The next morning, a boat ride on the Siene. Windblown look. After that, Pop Tom took a rest. And Avery roamed the streets, aimlessly searching for a train...or a tren. Walker did some laundry. Then we visited the Pompideu. A smile hoping to get a train. Outside Notre Dame (line was way, way too long to see a church...!) Playground on the left bank. We got cranky from too much sightseeing of fancy buildings. YAY! The train! Well, at least temporarily...

Four years ago this evening, you were born! And tonight, we leave for Paris to celebrate with you. Time flies so quickly, something I think we never thought we'd feel in the early days. Now you are a big, chatty, friendly, sweet, active, happy BOY and we love you so.
