we've had my mom here visiting us
from martha's vineyard!
she had never been to paris
and we were blessed with
beautiful weather.
sunny most days and 50!
we strolled the christmas markets,
rode the ferris wheel,
dined at some wonderful restaurants,
shopped the champs,
walked the jardin de tuileries,
visited the eiffel tower on new years eve.
there was so much more to see!
but, i'm hoping her visit here
was a nice one.
we loved having you mom!
for christmas,
steve gifted me with a new camera!
i have been having so much
fun taking pictures with it.
i can't wait to learn more..
because i truly have no idea
what i'm doing!
i gave our old nikon d40 to hannah..
as she has shown interest in photography too.
my new one..the nikon d5100 is equipped
with video..which i'm happy about.
i have NO video of my kids!
he also included the 300mm lens
which i LOVE!
we are still enjoying time off.
the kids don't go back to school
until monday..steve went back to work today.
happy new year friends!
may this year bring us all
peace
good health
and happiness.
Happy New Year! Pictures are absolutely awesome!

ReplyDeletehappy new year to you and your family.
wow! these shots are beautiful. and how lucky you live in such a beautiful place to try out that new camera!:)

Well, for someone who claims she does not know what she is doing, you seem to be handling the new camera just fine. Félicitations! I bet it was a special treat to show your mom around Paris, and with decent weather to boot. I am excited for you as you are about to start your first "whole year" in Paris and in France. I hope you get to visit many other areas in my homeland along the way. Happy New Year! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
