Melissa Turns One and Juliette is 31 months.

Wow, the weather has been great in April for Paris. It's been busy for us!! Juliette is now potty trained!! We are so proud of her!!


We went to Juliet's birthday party at Jardin Acclamintattion. Juliette had a great time.

Here is Juliette at Jen's house to dye Easter eggs. Now, it's difficulet to find white eggs here so we used brown eggs.

Dyeing more eggs!!








































































































Melissa is here, too.









































































































Juliette loves her robe when she gets out of her bath.










































































































Just want to show off my leg!!

Our last night with Granny and Grandpa so we went to our favorite local restaurant, Le Valerienne.

We didn't buy macarrons from here but Bonpoint had different flavors. Yep, Bonpoint was in the infamous book!!
















































































































Wow, more desserts!!

















































































































We stopped by at a boulangerie and bought sandwiches for lunch and then head to the park. Such a lovely day!!


















































































































Having our desserts from Bonpoint!!



















































































































Since Easter will be here very soon, each store displays eggs, bells, and even fish chocolates!!
