I so appreciated that she made time for me 4 days before her departure - and YES, I was planning to sneak into Paris for a day to join up with them, but my employer had other plans. We're thinking about a trip to NYC together - she'll keep you posted!<BR/>For all of you that will have the pleasure of meeting her in France, I've got her all warmed up for the experience - laissez les bonnes temps roulez !!!<BR/>xx,<BR/>M<BR/>PS-that photo does NOT do Virginia justice- she's a babe!MadAboutParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652799297556021249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-83518361842507881382008-11-12T16:35:00.000-06:002008-11-12T16:35:00.000-06:00Oh Virginia, this shot is just beautiful.

Met her on ivillage when I found out I was pregnant with my twin boys and found an online support group for women pregnant with twins! I've met a few of them in real life and now just met Lori who came down from Michigan.
