our bugaboos…

I haven't found much time to blog this week…have been so immersed in mommyhood and our sweet babies. This is not the most amazing post ever but I wanted to leave you with something new for the weekend. I was so focused on capturing the first stroll on camera that I neglected to take a good photo of the babies IN it! Duh me. On another note…I'm not sure a man gets any hotter (or any more comfortable in his masculinity) than when looking sexy and strolling with two babies and an adorable yorkie. Billy & Henry shared a bassinet and the cuteness was almost unbearable. I'll get photos for proof next time!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the mother of twins, and have double the excitement, double the worry, double the love. This first month has flown by and I have grown so much…as a woman, as a wife…as a mother. I never dreamed we would be this lucky, this in love. Everyone tells you time flies…well they aren’t kidding. It seems you are so much more aware of time, and how precious it is, when you have children. As much as I linger on each day, I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

proust q & a…de quelle planète es tu?

So…what planet are you from? That is the question Meg Gagnard asks, inspired by the book Le Petit Prince. She has created her own dreamy digital world on her blog, De Quelle Planete Es-Tu? and inspires and delights through her adventures in Paris and beyond. A Denver native, she has been residing in France ever since attending The American University of Paris for her degree in Global Communications. Her stylish ways are a perfect fit for her surroundings, and she has a romantic spirit that permeates her world. Whatever planet she is from, I want to go to there. Merci encore Meg!

 

Your favourite virtue.

Courage.

What is your present state of mind?

Ambitious. 

Your idea of happiness.

My idea of happiness is comfortably living in a place I like with a person I like, doing a job I like. If I have all that in life, what more could I need?

Your idea of misery.

Loneliness scares the bijesus out of me.

Your favourite colour and flower.

My favorite color is yellow, any and all shades. My favorite flowers are columbines & peonies. Something about daisies really make me happy as well…

Your favourite food & drink.

FOOD: There is most definitely a tie between homemade mac ‘n cheese, and salmon & avocado eggs benedict.

DRINK: Great Divide Brewery’s Raspberry Ale. It’s Colorado beer that is just so-gosh-darn delicious. If only they had Great Divide in France…

Your favourite qualities in friends.

Caring, supportive and inspirational. 

Your biggest flaw.

Impatience. I am oh so impatient that my brain just never stops and I constantly want to check things off my messy and ever growing to-do list! I like to know things are moving forward no matter how big or small the task.

Your favourite names.

There are so many names I like! Lucie, Gwendolynne, Jane, Margot, Bertille, Gaspard, and Loic. I should probably think more about boys names I like as most of these are for girls! HA. Silly. I always am curious about people’s stories as to why they choose certain names for their children. 

Your favourite occupation.

Being a friend and a lover.
