She's Changing Every Day

Juliet is changing every day, and we're not talking diapers here! I believe (I hope) I have successfully put a picture of Juliet on the blog tonight. So I am apparently changing every day, too. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks...I've already learned a lot about computer technology this trip, because I've had to figure it out on my own.

We had a great, semi-lazy Sunday today. We did what families do in France on Sunday; they spend time together, and that includes three and sometimes four generations. Three generations in our case, as Juliet, Jeanne, Matthew and I went to the marche (market) this morning. The market stalls are set up in a large building; I'm not sure what it's used for the rest of the week. But on Sunday, Tuesday and probably one other day of the week, vendors sell their fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, flowers and cheeses. There are beautiful displays of food: fresh-caught fish, artisan cheeses, artful mounds of fresh vegetables and fruits. No wonder the French people eat so healthy. Jeanne bought a beautiful big sea bass for dinner on Monday, and I got some of Tom's favorite cheese, as he's arriving in Paris on Wednesday!

The rest of the day was spent reading, napping, diaper-changing, cooking and eating. Juliet got to see her grandfather on Skype, a good preview to his visit later this week. She's really started to notice faces and to follow movement with her eyes. I can't wait to see what new things she and I will learn tomorrow.
