Wien and Paris

We are taking a trip to Europe; all of us!  Are we crazy to travel abroad with an infant?  We think not.  Our reasoning:  L is nursing still, so no need for food or bottles (less to pack and worry about!), she isn't crawling yet, and loves being in the baby carrier, so should be easily portable, she is fasinated with hands (hers and ours) so no need for lots of toys or other entertainment and if we don't go now it will probably be 10 years before our family is at a point where we can all travel abroad together (I think travelling with a toddler or a toddler/pre-schooler and another baby (sometime in the future) would be much more difficult!) 

We are staying with friends in Vienna for most of the trip (Hi M and K!) and can't wait to have some face-to-face 'real-time' together!  Skype is nice, but nothing beats being together in person! 

I am also looking forward to listening to real people speak French!  I speak French to L at home some of the time and we do a lot of reading books and singing songs in French.  I'm hoping to attend a few library events and/or other children's events while in Paris to learn a little more about how real French parents speak to their children (common phrases, words, etc. that are not easily learned from a textbook or my college french classes!) 

Should have lots of pictures from the trip to share!  We are going for the last half of the month of February!
