It's a beautiful day...

Well, I originally should have left this morning, but that didn't happen, obviously. From what I've heard, the volcano is still spewing ash into the atmosphere. You wouldn't know to look at the sky though. It is beautiful outside! After getting some lunch, Courtney and I went to the Louvre. I just wanted to see two things: the Seated Scribe and the Code of Hammarabi. Seated Scribe




Code of Hammarabi. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
Then we went to the Jardin des Tuileries and napped there on the grass. It was wonderful, especially in the beautiful, warm sunshine :)
When we woke up, there was a little girl (probably around 18 months) who decided she wanted to play with us. She was so adorable :) After getting some dinner, we went to the Arc du Triomphe. Garret and Kevin were there also so we went up together.


Stairs to the top. Phew...
Champs-Elysées



Eiffel Tower sparkling :)


And back down.
It was awesome! The city is so beautiful at night :)

Then I just came home and packed. Fun fun :)

I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Baby Benji

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)
