Paris!

We had a fabulous two and a half days in Belgium and Paris! Ashley and Cade were wonderful hosts! Cade drove us to all of the sights as Ashley was navigating on the GPS. They get an A+ for being our guides!
When we arrived in Paris we were starving! So we went immediately to Ashley and Cade's favorite street cafe for Crepes! Yum! They were so delicious!
This trip was definitely filed away in the "Great Memories" file in my brain!
It was a blast to see Ashley and Cade living like Europeans in their "flat". I loved spending time with them! I also loved being with my good friend Mar.

The Louvre

Is it Owen?

Ashley and I were so happy that we had finally made it to the Louvre. It had been a crazy day and we were ready to be inspired. It was a little distracting at first because we were surrounded by statues of naked men. But the naked men statues were soon replaced by paintings of nursing mothers, many depicted Mary nursing baby Jesus. The paintings of all of the babies were so chubby with large thighs and I thought of Addy, but their faces weren't as cute as Addy, so I refrained from taking pics of the chubby thighed babies. I must have had my grandchildren on my mind because then we walked down another hall and I looked at this painting, you have to realize that these are huge paintings...and the baby (who is Jesus) looked like Owen did when he was a little two month old baby

So I took a few pictures of the painting, and I took a photo of the name of the painting so I could translate the French words later.......it turns out, it is a painting of the Jewish tradition, circumcision....sorry Owen, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories!
