Mom Finally Gets Her Camera Fixed

So this is the photoshoot spree I went on after finally getting my camera fixed! I felt I had a lot of making up to do. Those iPhone shots just weren't cutting it!

Finnley

Chloe has fun spinning and soon builds up the confidence to put her legs thru the hole!

Ahhhh...a boat that doubles as a bed, perfect!

Finnley's Nemo Boat...Loving it!

A quick trip to Santa Cruz for the night

Finnley's Room...a work in progress but almost complete

A HUGE thank you to PopPop Allpress for helping to put up Finnley's letters! It was a tedious task, but he did it with a smile! The ink prints hanging in Finn's room were either PopPop's or my Gran's from when she was a baby. Judging from the copyright date and a little research, we think these were from when PopPop Allpress was a baby! We have a few more finishing touches to do but the 1 year old toddler room is almost complete!

Chloe's Second Ballet Recital

I is the end of the year and we have to say good-bye to Gimel...;(

Chloe's last day of the JCC - Gimel class was on June 5th. We had an end of year party at the park where we said our good byes to Marnie and Twonda...the BEST teachers we could ever wish for! They will be greatly missed! Next year, Chloe will be switching schools and joining Pacific Primary where she''ll be a "Rainbow Dolphin" and is across the street from our house! We are so excited, it's a great school and even better location...;). We will miss the JCC though, and will be back for visits.

Farewell NYC, it was nice to be back...

until next time!

When looking for the perfect cafe...

When strolling thru a city, and looking for the perfect cafe...follow the path to the art and the cafe will come. Siting in the sun, with my latte, lunch, and book before my flight home. Ahhh...a perfect ending to a perfect weekend!

Congrats David James! What a great wedding!

My old, dear friend, David James got married in NYC over the same weekend. Dave and I became friends in 6th grade and were best buds growing up. It was an amazing wedding, and so fun catching up with the old crew! Congrats Dave and Dana. xo P.S. Yes, even the Deacon from Wake Forest showed up!

We found a secret garden!

Mom's Trip to NYC, what a great getaway!

I spent two days shopping and walking around the city with one of my favorite girls, Marisa! We had a fabulous girls weekend catching up! Thanks for meeting me Maris, LOVE YOU TO BITS! xoxo
