tonight is another first. . .  isabella's spending the night over at grandma & grandpas for the first time.  it's the first time she'll be away from home overnight without one of us.  i'm anxious to see how she does.  she's been invited to stay over along with her cousin emilie & she's over-the-top excited!  she wanted to pack her bag last night ;-)  not an hour later she said she wasn't ready to stay overnight. . .  i think she'll do fine & we're only a phone call away.  while she's having a blast we'll be having a date night at a favorite place - http://www.grace1720.com/ .  we have reservations at 8pm with some friends.  looking forward to a leisurely night of dinner & drinks.  

enjoy the weekend !!

butterfly exhibit

not really sure what life was like without her. . .  

last sunday we took her to the butterfly exhibit, boy was it HOT! 

with her rosey cheeks, her new pink butterfly wings & a smile that melts your heart, it was worth the 90+ temps.  see for yourself. . . she'll melt your heart too. . . 

daddy's day

with a handmade invitation by little hands, we took daddy to lunch at a favorite place - 

grace 1720.  

the atmosphere at grace is fabulous, like being in italy.  the weather was perfect, with a slight breeze - it felt like ca.   

happy father's day daddy!
