He had a nice summer in Vermont with us.</p><p>We came back to New York and he was peeing on the couch a lot so we had to put him in the office where we are writing this story. Sorry but we didn’t get so many pictures.</p><p>Then he started getting sick. On October 18 we had a playdate with our friends and we noticed Smokey wasn’t walking right. The next day he had a cold and went to the vet. A few days later, we found out he was going to die. He had <a title="Feline Infectious Peritonitis" href="http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fip.html">FIP</a>. And then we came up with this great idea of an early birthday party before he died. (His birthday was November 16, he would have been one.)</p><p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/megnut.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/tumblr_inline_mvll4zfizx1r44bdc1.jpg?w=1100" /></p><p>This is his birthday cake.</p><p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/megnut.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/tumblr_inline_mvll5mkhvj1r44bdc1.jpg?w=1100" /></p><p>We all made him cards and these are the cards.

It’s amazing what a difference that amount of time makes for kids. Look at these pros getting off the TGV from Geneva at the Gare de Lyon in Paris! They rolled their own suitcases and wore their backpacks. So capable!</p><p>I’d imagined blogging more on this trip but evenings have been spent reviewing websites and planning for the next day’s adventures. And clutching my aching stomach that is full of over ten kinds of cheeses. Warning: never travel to France with Ollie, who may love cheese more than all the Frenchmen combined.</p><p>So far we’ve had three different kinds of St Marcellin, Bleu de Gex, St Félicien, Pélardon, two different Rocamadour, pavé du Tarn, an Ossau-Iraty, and a mysterious slice from the fromagerie at the Maubert-Mutualité open air market. And that’s only the cheese we’ve bought in three days, and doesn’t include the cheeses served to us by friends we visited in the Jura before coming to Paris!</p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/megnut/8203052763/" title="Pélardon.

I have the recipe from the restaurant and will be attempting to improve my NYC version. We have walked the streets, played in several playgrounds, enjoyed the sights. The kids have been practicing their <em>mercis</em> and <em>bon jours</em> and will not speak French when put on the spot, but casually will when I least expect it. I suppose that make sense.</p><p>Today will be our first true touristing day. We’re off to the Eiffel Tower and then hoping for a long leisurely stroll back to our rented apartment in the Marais. And maybe a cheese stop along the way!</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">7404</post-id> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
