Rainy days in Paris

The last couple of days have been a bit rainy. Mike took the boys out to a kid park yesterday, then I took them to Notre Dame Cathedral where we got to meet a priest and hear all about the Easter story -- at least until I explained that I was raised Catholic and knew about it already. The boys liked looking at the models of Notre Dame being built best. I think they were impressed with the stained glass. I lit a candle for Mom and Dad. Today was museum day, Mike took the boys to the Centre Georges Pompidou where they have modern art -- Andrew actually enjoyed it and got to see some artists he learned about in art class this year. Brandon was less enthusiastic, but he enjoyed playing with the audio tour buttons. He still had energy after they got back, so I took him for a walk to Luxembourg garden. Hopefully they will start to get on a regular sleep schedule, Andrew had trouble falling asleep last night and slept until almost 10 this morning.

I got some time in at a bookstore and found used versions of some books I wanted. I actually have gotten some writing done over the last couple of days and have been reorganizing my book project based on the latest interviews I have been doing. I may end up doing 2 books instead of just one. My french seems to be coming back as it usually does after a week or so in the country. It's a relief -- I was starting to worry that I was going to lose it after not spending much time in France over the last few years. I think regular visits will have to be in the schedule from now on...
