I Love Coming Home To This

This is what happens when Daddy gets excited over Penny's new ability to scribble & then gets distracted for a few minutes.

Thank you, honey,

for the wonderful picnic at our favorite spot.

It was the perfect way to spend my birthday.

A Very Busy Week

Last week we did a few fun things...


Daddy, Penny & I went to the Wild Animal Park. Found out my kid is bird obsessed.






The next day was spent with our dear friends (Ashley, Matt, Jordan, & Grace) here & dinner at their house.






Friday night we left the Lu's with Auntie Kelly while we celebrated Kelly O's bday with some wine at Maury's & a Gondola ride in Naples. A perfectly wonderful evening.





And lastly, my wonderful girl, Kristen, got married...


Whew.

The Best Smile Ever!

This is why i am so happy.

The Fair

I've never been to the fair before. For some reason, the one thing that always stuck out in my mind when people told me about it was Fried Snickers. It sounds disgustingly wonderful, doesn't it?

Yesterday, Bryan's parents & us braved the sun & crowds at the O.C. fair. It was pretty much what I expected. Lots of food. Adorable, stinky animals. The sounds of screams from the fair rides.

Penny was less than impressed with all the wonders. She checked out the animals, fearlessly (as she does most things). She loved the dance performances (old ladies doing the riverdance). She wandered & flirted with anyone that would flash her a smile.

All in all, it was an enjoyable afternoon. I never got my Snickers but we did all share 1 funnel cake, a disgusting hot dog, & one plate of various fried vegetables & meats. The biggest lesson I learned is that the fair is not condusive to the vegan lifestyle.
