Here's Léna dropping off to sleep with her favorite buddy, the pacifier.
This morning while Estelle was at Cathy's, Lisa and I strolled into the Old Town with the buggy. Here's a shop that caught Lisa's eye: a very old Nicois store selling "bonbonnes", which are these large "bottles" for storing your own wine in your "cave". Also the shop sells "bouchons", or corks for people who make their own wine.
Here we are enjoying coffee/tea out on the terrace of a cafe on the famous Cours Saleya in Vieux Nice...
What a delight to finally feel organized enough to go out with the baby and enjoy a morning tea and people watch!
We shopped for our evening salad meal at the market in front of us, buying: pears, cherries, blackberries, goat's cheese, jambon de parme (like dry prusciutto) and whole walnuts. Lisa claims she is being gastronomically adventurous.What will tomorrow hold?

This place is so charming! No wonder Thomas and Julie don't want to move elsewhere in France.
Just a word for those that notice these things: Baby Lena was under an umbrella the entire time we sat at the outdoor cafe. The waiter(who was our photographer) moved the umbrella just to take the picture.

Grammie and I realized that Lena will be a month old tomorrow? That doesn't seem possible! Grammie also thought that her eyebrows seem a lighter color than her hair. Maybe she will turn out to be a towhead like some of the Alexanders... haha! Grammie again says how cute she is in the pictures on her birth announcement.
Glad to hear that you are feeding Auntie Lisa so well. Loved the hat you were wearing, Julie.

Lisa, I wondered who took the photos!
I thought I saw a couple of Gauloises crushed in the ashtray in front of you and I worried that you'd found a handsome Niçois (other than Thomas, of course).
I noticed that you seem to be nursing Lena in almost every picture. I kind of miss (and also kind of don't miss) those days of "constant nursing."
It looks so sunny and beautiful...
Lisa looks young and vibrant in all the pictures- that French air must be good for the soul!
I have to say it again, Lena is just so cute! She makes me want to travel back in time for a BRIEF momont to see my own babies at that age.
"Evening salad meal?" you guys are so funny.
