Less Than 2 Months and Counting!

It's hard to believe but the big move is less than 2 months away. We have picked out our apartment and have met with the moving company. They will be coming to pack us up on September 2nd. Kevin and Angus depart on September 4th aboard the Queen Mary and Madison and I fly out to meet them on September 16th.

There is really not much to prepare for the move-Kevin's company handles all of the paperwork and the moving company packs us, ships us and unpacks us in the the new apartment. I'm still working on my French( and will continue to do so while I'm over there) with my Rosetta Stone :) Alexa was thoughtful enough to get us two fabulous books about Paris-one that list the best brasseries and the other that lists all of the kid-friendly places in and around Paris. I've been devouring every little tidbit about them since she gave them to me on Saturday.

Our apartment is in the 16th district of Paris, which they say is the equivalent to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The photos look amazing. We're on the top floor with an amazing view, tons of huge double windows, great hardwood floors, 2 bedrooms and baths. There will be plenty of room for all of our visitors-we'll have 2 queen beds, as well as a pull-out. It will be an adjustment to go from 2800 sq feet to 1100 but we'll make do :) It's centrally located around shopping, restaurants and a park that is twice the size of Central Park. It's really everything we were looking for and more.

Madison just had her 6 month check up and shots, so she is all set for the big trip as well. Kevin's co-worker in Paris is recommending a pediatrician and veterinarian for us to use during our stay.

Well-our next post will be the first official post in Paris! I'll be sure to include pictures of the aparment and neighborhood and, of course, of Madison. Afterall, she's the real reason we created this silly blog in the first place :)
