Still Here

Last night we headed out to the airport shortly after I wrote my post and when it was a little after the time we were supposed to board we got a notification that our flight was delayed until 9:30 (originally 7:50)...and then about 15 minutes after that we got another notification it was delayed until 10:10. So we sat there at the airport trying to decide what to do. Our plans for the weekend were Monet's wedding (happening today) and Stadium of Fire (on Saturday) and then back home (Sunday). Without a child it's a no brainer. Just sit and wait it out. But with a baby you have to start figuring in what the following days will look like if your child doesn't sleep. So we sat there for 30 minutes trying to make a decision--it was a hard one. We finally decided to bag the trip and head home. I told Marty that I felt really good about our decision but I was still super bummed so I'd probably cry...but that didn't mean that I still didn't feel good about what we chose. As we headed home from the airport our flight got delayed again until 11, and when I woke up at 2 am to feed Emi I saw that the flight didn't take off until midnight and had just arrived in Salt Lake. That definitely validated the decision we made, but still wishing we could be in Salt Lake for such a fun weekend.

Reese helped Grandma prepare for Emi's arrival in Utah...isn't that so cute? Wishing we were there!

Emi and I had a pretty chill day. I've been wanting to get new shirts, so Emi and I went to the mall but couldn't find anything that I liked and was garment friendly. That is one thing I miss about Utah--so many stores that have cute clothing but that you can wear with garments! I know I can order online but it's different getting to try it out in person. At the mall I did, however, find some cute shoes. I sat at the store debating between 2 different pairs and the worker was just laughing at me as I ran him through the pros and cons of each shoe. Then Emi and I went to Chipotle in the food court for lunch. 

In the afternoon we headed to Home Goods for decor shopping. I found some things I'm excited about and at a great price! I'm trying to make our home cute and also customized to us/our interests. 

I thought this globe was so cute!

In the evening we played Star Realms and then headed to bed. 

I gave Emi an apple today but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't bite into it. haha. She kept coming over by me so that I could pull her off pieces of my apple! One day she'll have teeth...right?!

This describes our life rn

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

Image
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
