Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. ...

We are proud to announce the arrival of Thomas Michael, Jr.October 12, 2007 11:27 A.M.8 pounds, 11 ounces - 21 1/2 inches long He was three days 'overdue', but well worth waiting for!His preferred activity is snuggling!! He's a good baby, crying only when he's being changed.Here he is, handsome at 5 days of age: If you were...
well, it's my due date...and the baby is still inside of me!!No labor pains...I guess the fruit isn't ripe enough yet! ...
That's how it feels.We've been back for a week and a half.I still can't get over the fact that I have to drive anywhere I need to go, and... And where's the nearest metro and RER train (and my bus to the Louvre)?Why can't I get a smoked salmon sandwich for three bucks?Where's the reasonably priced duck or...
Au Revoir Tour Eiffel, au revoir Chambre d'Amelie... We're so sad to go. We finally feel right at home... we can even take the metro with our eyes closed. Parisian life has been good for our health as well as our spirit... and soon enough we'll be back in 'reality.'A car accident snarled traffic on the way to...
We left the city again. This time we took the long train ride to Fontainebleau.I had said that the Loire valley castles were better than Versailles... well, Fontainebleau surpasses them all. It's magnificient, all the furniture is still there.... you could move in so easily. Got to see Josephine's bedroom, Napoleon's hat, his bathtub, and the desk where...
The Parisian Experience Weekend.After two and a half weeks of doing the touristy thing (well, if you don't count all the post-graduate studies), we decided to live it up like the natives.Saturday, we went to Printemps department store and shopped. It encompasses nine floors and three buildings! On the top floor of the women's building there is a...
School's Out! Today was my last day of class, and no my project is nowhere near being done.We went to the Latin Quarter and got crepes to go (salmon with lettuce and cheese) on our way to Cluny, The National Museum of the Middle Ages (the largest museum of the Medieval period in Europe). It also has its...
After class, another lovely lunch on the terrrace... We headed to the Musee D'Orsay; it's the late closing night. Fewer people today and the guard escorted us into a different entrance due to my (delicate) condition. I also got a free ticket because I'm a prof. There were a lot of sculptures and it's very airy. I enjoyed...
Tom met up with me at the Louvre... another long day at the musee! Before entering, we went to a cafe across the rue for luncheon: Tom had cassoulet with confit, and I had quiche lorraine with a dessert of tarte aux fraises (which the waiter informed me was the last one left!). The strawberries tasted so good......
Tom and I met at the Musee D'Orsay after my class, but it was as crowded as Disney World! Everyone in Paris has the same idea I guess: the Louvre is closed, so cross the river and go to the next closest museum.So we decided to postpone our visit and went to St. Germain-des-Pres and explored the ancient...
Rainy Monday, of course!After class, I met up with Tom at Jules Verne, one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city, for lunch. They say you need to make reservations six months in advance, and even our concierge couldn't get us in, but Tom made me call anyway, and... voila! The best part of all... it's way...
Today we left the city again! We took a long bus trip to visit three castles of the Loire Valley:Amboise (Tom took the one with both of us using the camera's timer!)... Chenonceau (that's Tom on the bridge)... and Chambord... They are all gorgeous (more interesting than Versailles, too!), but we think Chenonceau is the best. We must...
We ventured out of the city today for the first time taking the train to Versailles. I must say the train ride was a highpoint of today, as well as cutting the long line (at my dear husband's insistance) because I'm pregnant.It's my third visit to this place and I really didn't remember much... I just knew Tom...
After class, another sunny picnic on our terrace. Then Tom and I visited the churches of St. Merri and St. Eustache and Les Halles (where the largest outdoor market was in Roman times, it's now a mall). I indulged and drooled at LaDroguerie, a chic craft store... everything was so beautiful and elegantly presented... unfortunately the prices were...
We took the bus to the Pantheon (the former cathedral of St. Genevieve, patroness of Paris, confiscated and secularized by the government); today we made sure it would be open. Initially disappointed that we couldn't go up to the tower (just a second too late), we got over it once we found out it was a tour and...
Today was my very late day at school. Tom had his own adventure walking (yes, walking!) the whole length of central Paris to meet me at the Louvre. He took some great photos on the way with his cell phone... I literally spent the whole day and evening at the Louvre (the museum closes at 10:00pm on Wednesdays...
