So far...

Okay well I know I am going to get easily overwhelmed with the amount of pictures I'm going to be taking here, so I thought I would just post some highlights of what we have done so far... starting with our visit to this awesome candy cart (that's my kind of cart!!).
Notre Dame by day - we still haven't gone inside but it's still impressive just to walk around the outside.Snack break :) This boy has not complained once about all the walking and I'm sure he's taking at least twice as many steps as the rest of us!Just a few of hundreds of book stands you pass as you walk along the Seine River.
Walking by the river and enjoying the AMAZING weather.
The Louvre. The hugest museum in the world. I would need like 8 pictures pasted together to show the entire outside. We haven't gone inside yet but I hear it takes days.
A view of the Eiffel Tower from across the river. It was all sparkling and glittering when we stopped to look. This is as close as we've gotten so far.
Happy Piper. She loves cruising around the town and she gets lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs' :)
These streets are why it is so fun to walk everywhere in this city!
Dinner with friends at our place (Kendall, her mom Leesa/Gamma, Andrew, Sam, Travis, and the kids). Please notice Trav's ridiculously HUGE plate of spaghetti. This picture really does not do it justice.
We hung out this afternoon at the 'Jardin de Luxembourg' (Luxembourg Gardens). There is a big palace there, a large fountain and pond, lots of trees and flowers (it smelled amazing) and I hear there's a big play area with a carousel (we still have to check that out).
She steals the scene every time!
Playing at our apartment. They even cuddled together in bed tonight. They are the cutest!!
