Baby Shower

My friend Catherine's baby is due any moment. Well, she looks like she's due any moment, but her due date is actually a month away. We had a sweet baby shower for her here on Sunday. What fun to celebrate new life.

Lucy Turns 3

We went to Lucy's birthday party on Saturday. It was at this fun park in La Canada that had a "river" running through it where the kids played. It was a breakfast party, so we all munched bagels, cereal, and doughnut "cupcakes."

Happy birthday, sweet niece. And, now, you are 3!

Celebratory lunch at La Tiendita

I couldn't wait for 11:45 :)

PS... It must be noted: I cried alone in the car while driving away.

I was brave and strong and all smiles for my girl.

Ready. Set. Don't Go.

The Little Miss starts preschool tomorrow. Preschool. I'm the mother of a preschooler. We have a new school outfit picked out. We have her ziplock bag packed with a change of clothes and a picture of her for her cubby.

And yet, somehow, I'm the one trying to be brave!

So, here we go~

To Birthdays and Beyond

Ron's away this week backpacking in Yosemite. The girls and I miss him terribly but find ways to keep ourselves entertained in his absence. We celebrated Erin's birthday all together and then, my brother-in-law planned a weekend getaway for Erin in Santa Barbara. That means we got to add Lucy and Henry to the Lady Brood. We stayed at Mimi and Papa's... it was a blast.

A Little Help from our Friend

Wrigley keeps us balanced... in so many ways.

Tonight he decided to help Sadie practice her standing.

Wondering what's up with the E-Collar on our dear 4 legged friend?

We found 2 puncture wounds on his leg that have gotten worse and worse over the week. We took him to the vet today and the doc said it may be a snake bite... yuck.

That lead to the next conclusion that... a snake might live in our yard. Double Yuck.

Poor Wrigley was sprayed in the face by a skunk last Monday... Oh, Wrigs, it's been a tough week. Rosie has been telling everyone, "Poor Wrigs. He was 'prayed by a 'kunk. Now he's PU."

For Better or for Worse

There's nothing like a wedding to help you reminisce and remember your own Big Day and vows. Ron and I attended a wedding on Saturday that included at fun photo booth....

For Better or for Worse, indeed.
