Again, a long overdue post and I apologize. Things get crazier and crazier as the election gets closer - along with our impending move to the City of Lights. Jeff and I traveled to Paris at the end of September to find an apartment. We were not successful while I was there, but after I left (Jeff stayed to start his new job with Dannon in Paris!) Jeff found us a beautiful 3-bedroom in a terrific neighborhood in Paris' 7th arrondissement.
When we returned it was to celebrate Miz Jo's first birthday! We had a small party at home of family and our friends Jen and Jeremy whose daughter Bella is just 10 days younger than Josie. Josie had her first birthday cake, first sloppy joe, and many awesome presents. It was a great time and I am so proud of our beautiful daughter!
Meanwhile, we're missing Daddy, who's doing a great job in his new job in Paris, but luckily Gram stayed to help with Josie - and we are so thankful! We're taking lots of beautiful walks in the fall foliage, eating healthy food and watching the presidential debates with relish (and guacamole, and beer!). I'm frantically packing and organizing as the clock ticks down.
Josie has lots of new faces (see the new video here or on YouTube), lots of new tricks... she walks holding just one of my hands, says "arp" when you ask her "what does a doggie do?" and continues to eat like a champ. She got four stars at her 1 year check-up, wowing the doc and nurses alike. What a year it has been!! As we say Shana Tovah to family and friends we feel very blessed in this bright new year.
