His brain doesn't work like ours, or Mr. Literal

Our condo in the mountains is on the 4th floor. Stepping into the elevator, Noah says, "Can we go to the 3rd floor?"

Frédéric replies, "No, there is nothing to see. All the floors are the same."

Later on, getting into the elevator again, Noah presses 3.

Frédéric says, "Noah, what are you doing? Go to 4."

Noah's reply? "4, 3, it's all the same!"

Cousins and Museums

Our cousins Terry and Katrina Chaney from Montana came to visit for a few days, and we had a great time catching up with them!

We visited the WWI Museum in Meaux one day. We had the most amazing weather while they were here, a beautiful Indian summer the likes of which we haven't seen in years.

Fall Baking

Some of Noah's creations this fall:

A "soufflé essoufflé" - this one rose like a soufflé, but then fell down, but it tasted good anyway!

Birthday cake for me - crumbly, but tasty!

Grilled Marshmallow  Cake - a nice change from all the chocolate cakes! A new, creative idea from Noah, and it worked out very well.
