Happy Birthday to Me!

Away we go!

Hubby and I are off today for a weekend in Denver to celebrate a nephew's wedding. My suitcase is packed with plenty of Lilly and the kids are off to camp grandma! Yeah!

Doesn' get any cuter thanks this!

Tonight was C's ballet recital. It's a huge big deal with about 300 girls particpating and great staging, costumes, the works. Here are two pictures. The first is our star and the second is C with her Daddy and me! So cute!

Secretly Southern?

You know, I think I might be secretly southern. Nevermind that I was born in California, went to college in New England and then promptly moved back to Cali for law school. Here's why and all you soughtern gals, let me know if I'm right.
1. I love sweet tea and make my own although no one else in my family will drink it.
2. My 2 sons stand up when ladies enter the room and all my kids say yes madam and no sir
3. I live in pretty sun dresses (mostly Lilly) all summer which isn't easy in foggy SF.
4. Pink is my favorite color.
5. I write my own thank you notes on personalized stationary and so do my kids
6. I never leave the house in workout clothes, even just to take the kids to school, neat and clean hair and makeup at all times!
7. I say ya'll and all ya'll and know the difference between them!
8. I never leave the house for a trip, or even work, without the beds made and kitchen tidy.
9. I fry my own chicken!

I could go on, what do you think?

SummerTime!

Well, it's finally summer. All the kids are out and off to the varrious camps. Summer seems so much more complicated to me this year. Each of the three kids has different camps with different pick up times and locations. I had to make the sitter a spreadsheet! This is my first summer back at work full time and I must say I'm so not loving it. Add to that the greycold weather hear in SF and I'm dragging a bit. I think I'll wear a pink blouse under my suit today to cheer up!

Where is summer?

It's getting harder to hold onto the pink here is SF. Grey, cold and foggy is the weather we've been having for the past 4 days and no change in sight. It was 58 yesterday in the city and windy! It's June for goodness sakes! This is where I was, lilly bikini on, kids playing in the sand, sipping a sweet tea by day and a G & T by evening! Well a girl can dream can't she?

It must be instinct!

These are 2 pictures of my daughter and a friend basically just lounging on 2 chaises at the friends house. They are actually watching both dads take out some bushes. It must come naturally!

Can't believe my baby's all grown up!

Well, yesterday my baby graduated from pre-school and will be heading off to the big K next year. So hard to believe. It was a cute ceremony. These are two pictures of him graduating.

Wish I were there!

Gosh I wish I were there!
