An Outdoor Performance & Nightly Dancing...

4.23.2010

Brennah got a much anticipated tutu from my mom and dad for Easter... It has been quite the hit... Much singing and dancing has ensued... And on an even cuter note: Jay puts Brennah to bed most nights (I think it's his favourite time of day!)...The two of them have an all out dance party before he reads her a story... Could a girl get a better guy?

Little Leah in the Great Outdoors...

Enjoying a lovely April day... That felt a lot more like June...

One Year Ago Today....

4.21.2010

One year ago today... Jay and I were enjoying our very last day in Paris... A trip that my wonderful husband had surprised me with a few months earlier for Christmas... It was a lovely trip... With every last detail given careful consideration... In honour of his thoughtful planning and to just relive the joy a bit, here are my seven favourite pictures from our trip... One from each day! I hope that you all get to experience Paris someday, with someone you love...

Montmatre Cemetery...

The Eiffel Tower...

Exploring the Louvre...

The Gardens of Versailles...

The rainy streets of Paris...

'Cathedral de Bayeux', Bayeux...

The view from the 1952 Citroen that we rented to tour the countryside castles...

"I'm So Glad I'm Here"

4.20.2010

Standing beside me on her chair in the kitchen the other day, Brennah rested her head on my shoulder and said, "I'm just so glad I'm here mommy"... Well... So am I! More than she'll ever know!

Cereal & Earrings...

4.19.2010

It's been an exciting month around here... Time is flying... And my ladies are growing up... About two weeks ago, on a lovely warm day outside, little Leah started eating solid food...

And a few days after that, she got her ears pierced!

Weekend Project {Teacup Cake Topper}

4.16.2010

It's been quite a while since I posted a weekend project idea... In my search for great botanical inspiration, I came across this splendid idea (intended for a wedding, but could be used for any special occasion) for a Vintage Teacup Cake Topper... Lovely... And as many of you know, I have more than enough teacups around here... Just might give it a try this weekend... How about you?

For me, spring is all about the trees and flowers... The barren branches fill once again with green life... And the flowers... Oh the flowers... I love spring...
