I love Notre Dame's gargoyles; they each have their own personalities.
Pastries, acquired by brother-in-law Nathan, on my last night in Paris.
We found this cool sculpture in the Left Bank. The kids climbed on and slid down it for a half hour.
Leah, right after we told the kids we were going to EuroDisney the next day. This is such a moment of spastic joy. I adore this picture. It is true, unadulterated excitement.
Right after we told the kiddos of our impending trip to Disney, they started packing. Susannah had made her kids adorable backpacks for Paris out of Japanese fabric. Leah felt left out, so Lizzy, in true Lizzy fashion, fashioned this one for Leah out of a plastic bag. It's actually pretty awesome. The front has some twine lashed so that she can adjust the size and tightness as needed. I, unfortunately had to talk Leah out of taking it. The gaping hole at the top was a little less than ideal.
I tried to take a pic of the Eiffel Tower through the windshield. I love the effect I accidentally captured with rain and all.
The lovely Lazeras Family; my dad was involved with Josie's (the mother on far right) baptism back in the early 60s in Paris. We've remained good friends and had a delicious dinner at Florine and William's (their married daughter and her husband, with 3 children) home outside of Paris. I lived with the Lazeras family for 6 weeks after I graduated from high school.

I made several TO-DO lists on the plane ride home.
And blew a few bubbles.
