Run-a-Muck

Lynn, Linds, and I had quite the busy weekend.  The morning after we took our class, we swam through the mud and ran a 5k.  We all had a great time.  Thanks for a great weekend ladies!!!

cirque du soleil- sign me up!

On Friday night Lynn, Lindsey and I took a trapeze class and it was AMAZING!!!  So if my husband can't get a job, then it looks like I'm joining the circus.

hope you're all having a great month.

Happy Birthday!

Can you believe? He's 2!

When did he go from this little guy......

....to this big boy?!

Here he is exploring his dutch roots and walking around in our wooden shoes (from 1910). They can't be too comfortable.
Here he is trying to catch snowflakes.
I still have a hard time believing that I'm a mom-let alone the mother of a two year old. He's the funniest and most polite little guy that I know. I may or may not have shed a few tears this week. But I just think he's the greatest!

His current obsessions are trains, trucks, all construction equipment, mini coopers, and of course George. He is always laughing and smiling and loves to read books.

We love you Boston! Happy Birthday!

Giddy Up!

For Halloween, the US Embassy here in Paris held a treat or treat. I helped set up the little party and was able to meet a few people. Boston loved dressing up as a cowboy. We didn’t really think to come prepared with a costume, but after a trip to the toy store (not many costumes are sold here) and borrowing a hat and bandana from a friend, we were golden.

I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to bring the gun in since we had to go through security, but the gentleman at the entrance said after its inspection, “well, if we take it away, then no one will know he’s a cowboy.” He made a great point. We taught Boston to say, ‘trick or treat’ as we walked around to all the offices and to also say, ‘howdy’.

He still wants to put on his holster every day. I’m loving it. Now to find him a horse.

The Red Carpet

One Saturday morning we ventured out to see some antique markets. We came across one that had a beautiful red carpet flowing through it and old movie paintings lining one of the streets. Boston loved trying the crawl under the fenced off area to get to the forbidden painting. It was fun- I’ve never been on a red carpet before.
