The Moran Family in Paris

We are officially home! Paris was an amazing experience and we will definitely miss it. Luckily we will be able to visit at least once a year.

Our First Road Trip




This past weekend we all got in the car and took a little road trip. Because Angus has such strict regulations in regards to entering the U.K., we wanted to make sure his documentation and microchip were in the right before we hit the 6 month marker for our return trip on the Queen Mary.

So we set off on Saturday and made the 3 hour drive to the Eurotunnel in Calais, France. Once we double and triple checked Angus, we did some shopping and eating in Calais. We found a baby store which was the Bloomingdale's version of Babies R Us. Kevin had to pull me out of there before I bought one of everything.

Madison and Angus did beautifully during the drive and practically cuddled the entire way there. As you can see in the picture, Angus spent most of the time with his head on Madison's lap while she was in her carseat. They really are so cute together.

Now that is squared away, we are back to planning fun weekend excursions. We'll probably go to Disney this weekend if the weather is nice (it's been warm and sunny pretty much the entire time). We are currently planning a trip to London for early November. We have found a babysitter and a dog sitter and she actually lives right here in our building. She speaks both English and French, which is perfect.

Madison is doing great. You can see the start of her top 2 teeth coming in and she's getting so close to crawling. You can clearly hear "Mama, Dada," and even "Angie" in her babbling rants. We can't believe she's already 9 months old!!! It really does go by so fast.

Kevin has been absolutely amazing during our transition here (as always). He really goes above and beyond to make sure Madison and I are perfectly set up and happy. Not to mention all of the trouble he goes through just to make sure Angus makes it home with us. He's hired a cleaning lady so we can enjoy every minute of our stay here...she starts tomorrow and I'm so very excited :)

We miss everyone very much! PS-Happy Birthday to George! See you soon :)
