Ordinary Days in Paris

last night steve and stephen

and i met up with 

steve's sister and her 

husband who are visiting

here in france.

they are staying at 

the four seasons george V

amazing hotel.

we met them for

drinks at the hotel bar there.

 ok, so i really would like

this to be my new hangout.

however, 27 euros 

(or 35 dollars) 

for a champagne cocktail

might be a bit much

for our weekly date night.

(i did score some 

cool George V matches!)

but 

wow.

what a gorgeous hotel.

robert redford may have 

been spotted 

:)

we've had a busy week.

not much blogging

or picture taking going on

here...so i'm thankful

for my camera phone to snap

pics of our daily life.

tuesdays are big shopping

days here for us.

griffy loves his little

cart and he scored 

a new pair of sunglasses.

will plays the euphonium

and had a band concert

at his school recently.

so proud of you buddy!

stephen had pics

with cap and gown this week.

i can't believe he's graduating.

bubbles on the balcony

the weather in the early part

of the week was gorgeous..

sunny and 70's.

french doors thrown open..

lots of walking

and balcony sitting.

i recently finished another

persephone book...

Greenbanks by 

Dorothy Whipple.

i loved it.

will's 5th grade class

put on a play this week..

it was so fun to watch!

will had a solo

and was terrific!

just ordered these lovelies.

i must say that i'm getting

better about wearing heels.

i love heels but don't love 

how my feet feel in them 

while walking all over paris.

but..i've been wearing them

more often and i think i'm

getting it down.

every day i feel a bit more

parisian.

:)

homemade chicken fajitas

are on the menu here

frequently.

here  is the recipe.

my carafe d'eau 

collection is growing

:)

steve is on a plane

to the states for a few days.

and the kids have started a 

two week spring break!
