all the girls celebrating julia's birthday!

i feel like i've been out of touch for a bit.  when we returned from our trip to fl i came down with a cold that wiped me out. . .  103 temp & a cough that wouldn't quit.  it just seemed to last forever too.  
luckily 'baby girl' didn't come down with anything.  
last weekend we celebrated our niece julia's '10th' birthday & grandma & grandpa nitto's anniversary.
happy birthday julia!! - can't believe you are 10 already! 
happy anniversary g&g nitto!!  

we've been a little mia since our fl visit. . .   lot's to catch up on! 
i've been without my laptop this past week, so if i haven't replied to an email or two now you know.  it's actually been kind of nice ;-)  simply been enjoying our toddler & the fabulous little person she is...
be back soon!!

we had lunch with an old friend friday & had a fantastic time.  paula & i go way back & i mean wayyyy back.  we lived close to each other growing up in ny & our parents were good friends.  we played together all through childhood.  funny thing is we've been living in atlanta together for years & have never connected.  the really funny thing is, she now lives like 10 miles from us on the same side of town (small world).  so after many attempts at meeting up, yesterday isabella & i finally met her for lunch & margaritas.  it was nice to catch up & share what's happening in our worlds.  i could have sat & chatted for hours, but isabella needed a nap.  we plan to get together again in the next couple weeks & hopefully it will become a regular thing.  i loved visiting a piece of my past & sharing it with my daughter.  later last night before dinner, i asked bella if she liked meeting miss paula & she said 'paula's really sweet'!  her mommy feels the same way! 

we are off to fl this week & looking forward to time with family.  isabella will have her own seat on the plane this time - what a big girl!
