Paris: Then and Now

Simon and I went to Paris back in March. I know probably everyone has the same picture of the Eiffel Tower from the same spot, but I thought these pictures were neat. The first is the picture Simon and I took on our trip and the second is one my grandfather took on his trip to Paris in 1944 after the allies liberated Paris during World War II. The third picture is my grandfather in front of the Eiffel Tower. I know that thousands of people have stood in that same spot and taken a pictures, but as far as I know my grandfather and I are the only two in our family that have been to Paris.

Happy Father's Day

Love you Dad and Robert!

Baby Jackson's First Visit to Lexington!

Earlier this month David and Ashley brought my nephew, Jackson to Lexington to meet his Great-Grandmother, Nana. She was so excited to see him. I don't know that I have seen her smile like that in years!

This was the first time Simon and I had seen him in over a month. He has gotten so big! We had a great day. We had hamburgers and homemade ice cream! Jackson also got to meet his Great-Aunt Debbie and Great-Uncle Tom.

My Dad is such a great Grandpa. He loves holding Jackson. Good luck trying to get in between those two!

I tried to help out, but was not very successful. I fed Jackson a couple of times. The first time I did good. The next time was not so good. He spit up on me. I tried to change his diaper and he peed on me. I am going to have to practice some more. He is still such a cutie!!

Happy Birthday Simon

Simon also celebrated his 30th birthday again this year! It is the 3rd year in a row! For Simon's birthday we went to Blowing Rock for 'Art in the Park'. My parents met us there and came home early with Lexie. Simon and I stayed to shop some more and ate dinner at the Six Pense Pub, one of our favorites!
