....saying welcome home and goodbye to Steve.
This month..so far..he's been to London, Amsterdam, India, Dubai
Dallas and Egypt.
He brings us all gifts.
Will got this traditional Indian hat.
He wears it to bed
:)
Hannah got her doll.
She's a bobble head from India.
(Hannah also got glasses)
The kids can't wait to see what he's brought them.
It's like Christmas for them.
We all sit around the coffee table
and he presents each of us with trinkets
from all around the world.
He brought me tea and saffron
and pearls.
We love when he comes home!
Hannah's welcome home sign
In many different languages.
...we've also been sick.
Like really sick.
I'm sure it's not over yet either.
I had to go to Target today
and buy all new pillows
towels, sheets....
love the stomach bug.
....celebrating birthdays. (mine....44...uugh)
We saw Les Miserables in Boston.
What a treat.
And Hannah made these.
While we were out at Les Mis
she made these adorable hair pins.
Thank you Hannah!
I love them!!
And You!
....reading.
My appetite for books about Paris is insatiable.
I just finished Hemingway's
A Moveable Feast.
Loved it.
I'm now reading
Julia Child's
My Life in France.
Steve bought me
Paris Was Ours
for my birthday.
Guess what?
We're moving to Paris!!!
Oui! Can't wait mon amor!! Btw...Will's hat was from the Muttrah Souk in Muscat, Oman - It is traditional Omani headress (you missed that one on your list for visits this month ;-)
