I hate my wardrobe. French people have small feet and bums. I am homesick and want to go to Target. My house is never as clean as I would like it and it seems every other mother I know manages it better than me. Inspite of my gripes and numerous imperfections, these were some great things that happened this week:
1. Ruby began to role-play. She would pick up her favorite dolly, given to her by her great-Aunt Jan, grab a little blanket and lie down pretending to be asleep.
2. She let go of her Papa's hand and walked five steps toward me this afternoon.
3. Her hair finally made it into a pony-tail holder and although the look is somewhat whale-spoutish, it is adorable with all her curls.
4. While I was holding her hand and walking into the kitchen, she slapped her other hand against her leg several times motioning for Barkley to follow.
5. While listening to my iPod and walking across Place de la Concorde I felt like I was in my own personal music video, and although I would like to fire whomever is in charge of wardrobe, my step was just a bit lighter and the smile on my face was uncontollable. I am still in love with this city.
6. I was introduced to my first vampire novel, a teeny-bopper/chick-lit book called "Twilight" and I loved it.

I loved your list - it's all about the little moments...
And, I SO understand your sentiments. There are days I look in my closet and hate everything I see. I look in the mirror and want to fire my personal trainer for doing a REALLY poor job (oh yeah - I am my personal trainer).
So, who wrote "Twilight"?
Stephenie Meyer. She has also written a sequel called New Moon if you end up reading the first and wanting more. I am a slow, slow reader and read both in a 48 hour period.
Howdy over there, it's the Barclays. Thanks for your cute valentines. How lucky to live in Paris, a place I wish to visit some day. Your little girl is darling. It sounds like life is good for you guys. We have a blog too. www.thebarclayblog.blogspot.com Thanks for keeping in touch. Jeannie
You sent the Barclay's a valentine and not me??? I'm hurt! Your secret is out! (Sniff)
Hmmm...are you sure you didn't get one. I sent one to Nicole and Liz...ouch! Look forward to St. Pattys, there might be a card in the mail with your name on it.
