Paris: Picture Overload

Image
By

So it has been quite the ordeal trying to find the best pictures to share. Derek and I just loved Paris and had such a blast. We only spent a couple quick days there but are so glad we had the opportunity to go.

For those of you who don't know, I've been waiting a long time to go to Paris. I have been dreaming about seeing all the things I had heard about from my parents, siblings, and french teachers for many years. Dream come true. Thanks Ancestry.com for giving me an awesome job.

My whole entire family and Derek's entire family have all been to Europe. Derek and I were the last ones left to take a trip overseas and loved every minute of it.

Here are some highlights:

Feeling pretty exhausted at the CDG Airport
Our first sneak peak at the Eiffel Tower.
The view from our window where we were staying
We thoroughly enjoyed Musee du Louvre
Fabulous
Derek LOVES to study

The view on our way to Champs Elysees
Everything was breathtaking
We love water
There was the bets local bakery. This croissant was so good.
On our way up all the stairs to Sacre Couer

The walk to Sacre Couer was my favorite

My favorite spot in Paris. The view was fabulous. I never wanted to leave
Lunch on our way down all those stairs



It was more beautiful than i thought it could be
The rose window at Notre Dame. There was a sermon going on when we visited!
Arc de Triomphe
Laduree. The best.
Thanks Martha for leading me to the best Hot Chocolate ever
We just couldn't resist them
So excited to drink this stuff!
Another view from our window



Now of course this doesn't include everything that I wanted to share but it does give you a little taste in to all the great things we got to see and do while in Paris. Our couple of days were booked but it was so worth it. 

Goodbye Paris! We are off to London!

    LOVE this! (jealous) I'm so glad you were able to enjoy it. I was afraid ancestry.com would take up all your time. Can't wait for some London pictures!

    How fun! I'm pretty jealous! And, don't worry, you beat me to Europe. Scott assures me that he'll take me by the time we've been married for 20 years... I told him he better hope I stick around that long:) Just a joke!

Big News!

By
So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

Owen at 6 months

By
  This is my little Owen and he is the most handsome little boy ever. He brings so much joy to our lives. He is an excellent napper, happy 98% of the time, and a great little brother. He laughs at every thing Brooklyn does and is so patient as she pulls and pokes him while they try and play. Here is a glimpse of Owen James at 6 months old: He sits up and loves to play with anything put in front of him He drools like nothing I've ever seen before Can roll from front to back and back to front but mostly rolls from back to tummy Loves tummy time Is obsessed with Brooklyn and Peek a boo Isn't the best night time sleeper but he is getting better every day. He gave me 6 hrs last night...to bad it was from 6 pm to 12 am instead of 12 am to 6 am. Once he's in a deep sleep he does great but just has a hard time getting to sleep at first Smiles at everyone so he can show off his dimples Blabs mama everyday all day but I don't think he has connected it yet...

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...
