Hang in there, V! (We're getting major rain here and the storm is nowhere near us, so I can only imagine . . .) Meanwhile, I hope your family appreciates the beautiful way you documented this trip. This shot is gorgeous.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Awwwwwww...
perfect in B & W
Another beautiful moment in your family's story, dear V. The B&W suits it...
Beautiful shot Virginia, what would we do without photographs to keep the memories alive! It has a 'wistful' feel to it this image!
Black and white was the right choice with this! Beautiful shot.
Perfect! Loved the B&W in this shot.
Have a wonderful day :)
Those little people certainly have grown since then. This is a lovely, classic shot filled with sweet memories for sure.
What a wonderful experience for those marvelous grands of yours.
What a great family portrait. Such wonderful memories for all of you.
That family is making wonderful memories 'a Paris!
Hope it's my family next summer....
Lovely shot Virginia. How are old are the children now? Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
But did you go to any of the 'river' restaurants?
The kiddos are almost 7 and 10!! Waaaa
Starman, no we didn't try any of those, should we?
TRopical Storm Lee dropped a ton of water on B'ham over the weekend. I have no internet, cable or phone as of yet so the blog may be late tomorrow.

A beautiful moment in time!
Yes, you should absolutely have dejeuner (if not diner) at one of these. I would recommend warmer weather, though.
