February

We enjoyed some warm days outside in February and also some snowy ones! We've had some crazy weather this year! Our kids love to be outside as much as possible though no matter what the weather is!
Some highlights were going to the zoo with friends, having friends over to our house, and Lucy's first dentist visit. She did amazing! She was very brave. And of coarse the kids just loved playing in (and eating) the snow, since we don't usually get very much around here!
And there is a picture of my at 27 weeks pregnant!

Paris Day 4


Our last day in Paris we took the long ride on the metro out to Versailles. It was my favorite thing we saw! It was a rainy day, but we braved it! I only wish we could have seen more of the gardens. I suppose if we ever come back we should come when it's spring or summer so we can enjoy the gardens too! I loved seeing all the fancy and ornate decor. And then seeing the Queen's Hamlet which is very modest and farm-like. That wasn't open either to see, but I would love to see more of that another time.
This trip was amazing and exhausting! Between being pregnant and just the sheer amount of walking around all day for several days was very taxing! But, I'm glad we got to go and see some awesome sites!
We spent our last evening going out to a little fancier restaurant, where we had the most delicious meal! I had duck and Joel had steak. Both were so good! For dessert I had the creme brulee trio and Joel had a french toast with pear sorbet. Both were pretty amazing! It was a great end to our 10th anniversary trip to France!
