More pics of Paris





Too tired to write much but wanted to share some more of our pictures from Paris! 
-Ted and I in the champagne region of France at one of the champagne houses
-Carolyn, Jess and I enjoying champagne cocktails at a trendy Paris bar
-Me in front of the Eiffel tower- it was SO massive and stunning
-Ted and I in front of the beautiful, Notre Dame

We are back home in Cincinnati adjusting back to normal life. Being a Mom and Dad. Elle is adjusting too. She spent 2 fun weeks with Gramma and Grampa Close and is getting used to us and her home again. It was a long time to be away from Elle and we are very fortunate we have Ted's parents to watch her. I feel bad we have no one else to help them, you guys would have helped,  but I know they enjoyed it. Most grandparents would- I know how much you loved watching Aydan at this age. He envied his Gamma and Papa. What a great thing. 

I will definitely post more pictures this weekend of Ireland. I passed Hard Rock Cafe of Dublin. I couldn't stop. I wanted to add to your collection Dad to eventually display up north but I couldn't do it. I thought of you though, and was bummed. 

So my sadness and hurt did not disappear but I have such amazing memories of two beautiful places and it's really nice to look back at these pictures to see me smile. I can still have a good time and appreciate all that life has to offer, as difficult as it is sometimes.

Grandpa and I were just saying we miss little Elle, our house is so quiet! Her giggles and all her entertainment, peek-a-boo, clapping when she did something so exciting and of course we encouraged this. Watching her change in front of our faces. What an angel you are Elle. We love you and miss you dearly. Ted and Melissa thanks for sharing this very special bundle of joy.
