We are just about officialy settled in. The clothes are unpacked and Madison's playthings are all set up. We decided against Disney this weekend, as we are going to go either this or next weekend when the Halloween decorations are set up (and then again for the Christmas spectacular....because I love Christmas so). We still have to sign Madison up for Gymboree. We have a playdate this Saturday at a park with other American expats, which will be nice to meet other people in our same situation. I joined the gym last week. I go in the mornings while Kevin is on breakfast detail with Madison.
This weekend was a lot of fun. An old friend, Jill, was in Paris for Fashion week and invited me to the Rock and Republic Party at the Eiffel Tower on Friday. It was such a good time (and a good excuse to get all dressed up). Kevin was so sweet-Friday after work he came home with a surprise for me....a brand new pair of gorgeous Ferragamo shoes to wear with my outfit for the party! I was completely surprised, he said I need a pair of fancy shoes to wear to my fancy party. He's such a doll.
Then on Saturday we did a LOT of walking around. We walked all of the way from our place up to the Notre Dame area (approximately 4 miles each way)...stopping at the Jardin de Tuileries, St. Germain, St. Michael and the Latin Quarter.
Sunday was a lazy, rainy day. We mostly stayed at home (afterall, my feet were still recovering from Friday and Saturday). Today we have an appointment with Madison's new pediatrician. This week we scheduled potential babysitters to come in for interviews. We still have some shopping to do for the apartment to add our own touch. Once we're officialy unpacked and squared away, I'll post pics of the apartment.
Our home phone broke, so we're replacing that today and then I'll be reconnected and able to make some calls to the U.S. Email doesn't always cut it :) But we do have our new computer and it's wonderful.
Hope all is well!
