Shopping and Neighbors

At My Gym today they had a little circus tent and it was absolutely adorable. They also did the zipline with the kiddos...that's probably MY favorite activity there haha. Emi did well with all the activities, but I'm noticing she's a little bit more hesitant around other people now. I think she may have a little bit of stranger anxiety. 

Emi and I went to Target after My Gym to get her some 6-9 month clothes because she has 0 pjs (which is a must!) and very few clothes in that size. We got her some new things and it was so fun shopping for her:) I put so many clothes in my cart, put things back, grabbed different clothes, and ended up with clothes that I think will be super cute on her. I love getting to shop for my baby! I keep telling myself, I hope we have at least one more girl so that we can use all these cute clothes again.

After Marty came home from work, Marty, Emi, and I were walking to the clubhouse. Marty was holding Emi and I was walking next to him. I looked at Emi and said "Mom is so boring to be with all day, huh?" and she just started full on laughing. It was the cutest and funniest thing ever. 

In the evening, we were hanging out in the living room and we got a knock at the door. One of our neighbors had come to ask Marty if he would help move an old couch of theirs out of their apartment and a new one in. Of course Marty said he'd be happy to help. Marty was saying to me how he was glad our neighbors felt comfortable asking him to help. I can't agree more! We've been able to meet the people on our apartment floor better since we've moved here and it's made a huge difference. I love getting to say "hi" to our neighbors as we come and go and it makes me feel more connected to where we live. We've been meaning to have some neighbors over for dinner but haven't made it happen yet...but yesterday was the perfect opportunity to invite them over for dinner in a couple weeks!

Nick's Fish House

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
