Annie Goes to Paris

I had February Vaction this past week and I spent 4 1/2 days in Paris, France. I stayed with Anna. She lives right by the Eiffel Tower.
BABY UPDATE: I am 7 weeks pregnant and on Friday we heard the babies heartbeat and we saw it on the screen. I look at my belly a lot now and try to visualize what exactly is going on inside. I still can't believe we are having a baby!

I loved the doors in Paris.

Best Macaroon ever. I had never had a macaroon like this before. It was amazing.

Notre-Dame
An empty carousel next to the Eiffel Tower.
I walked up to the second level of the Eiffel Tower.
Nice view! You can see the L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE above my head.

The Tower at night was amazing.




In Paris they have bike stations all around the city that you rent from 30 minutes to a full day. It is a really neat idea.
I ate Dinner at Anna's house one night. It was the best.
It would be fun to live in this building.
I want to photoshop this to say Cory's.
Aunt Tammy, do they ever call you this...?
I don't remember what this building is for.

Shopping for the new baby in Paris was fun but unproductive since everything is expensive. Plus I can't by an outfit for a girl if we are having a boy!
I did by some shoes and socks that were on sale that will work for both. I also bought some new and some used French kids books.
I want my baby to sleep in here.

L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE was a lot bigger that the arches' in New York.

The Palace gates.

Pretty money



I flew with Air India. It is really nice because you get good food and a large private screen that has movies, music, games, and television shows. I watched a lot of movies.

New Stork City

Cory has Marvin enter the room so Annie can tell him something.

Annie "Hey, Marvin, remember that time you said that it would be fun for us to have a baby so you could play with a baby in the apartment?"

Marvin "Yea..."

Annie "Well..."


Marvin "...you...your...pregnant?"

Annie "Yes!"

Marvin cries in unbelief and excited as he gives Annie a hug.

"Hey Family...I am pregnant!"

Proud Parents of a 5 1/2 week old fetus.
Clem met Cory and I for lunch after my first doctor appointment where the doctor confirmed that I was indeed prego.
Can you see the snow?
Happy Valentines Day! Cory met me up at my school for lunch. Afterwards he walked from 104th down to 46th. This is a picture of Central Park's resavior. Oh, did you notice...we got a new camera!
We went to Salvation Arm and bought our first baby clothes.

Callie

We still do not have a camera yet, but Cory made this video of Callie.

Jarin is here!

Congratulations Andrea and Matt! Andrea gave birth yesterday to a bundle of joy. He weighed 81bs 14oz! Andrea and I have been friends since 6th grade. This is her second child. She gave birth the first time (Brady) right before the wedding.

Tap of the Morning to You

What do you do when you find a perfect fitting pair of tap shoes? Go tap dancing!
I have started to take tap dance classes at "Steps on Broadway" in Manhattan.
One of the first things that I did in this life was dance (ballet, jazz and tap!) I remember "shuffle-ball-change," but that was about it. I also remember peeing my tights on the ballet bar becaase I was trying to wait until class got over. Keri Weisser (Rachel's mom) saved me that day with some extra clothes. I remember other things but that was the most interesting visual I could think of. I wish I had my dance pictures on the internet to show you with my bright costumes. Instead, here is a cute one of some girls.

This is the only picture of the studio I could find. The hallway is always filled with dancers.


This is the teacher of the class I have been attending. Her name is Lynn Schwab and she got into tap dance at the age of 25. This give me hope!
