Declan Turns 3!!

Declan turned three on August 6th. It truly is amazing how quickly time passes. He and his sweet friend , Baker were born on the same day, in the same hospital, just two hours apart. The Jorgs and the Coleman's were just a few doors down the hall and had no idea we'd all be celebrating Baker and Dec's third year of life together! Pretty cool.
D and B invited some friends, enjoyed their petting zoo, and their delicious cupcakes...oh, and if you can believe it, they didn't plan their outfits!
Thank you to Ashleigh and Carter. It was an honor to be able to share in one of your family's special days.

10 Years!!!






Happy Anniversary Don and Erin!
Wow! 10 years...quite an accomplishment! It has truly been a blessing to be on this journey with you D. It was also a blessing to be able to get away for three days. The Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale is a force to be reckoned with. Pure excellence. The desert is usually portrayed to be hot and dry but I always experience it to be a restorative sanctuary. In fact, I would love to retire at the Four Seasons...right now.

Ventura HWY.



I love that song by America. It feels like, and sounds like the essence of California with all my history and memories wrapped up into a sweet melodic tune. I was able to go back to Cali in July by myself sans children and hubby. What a special gift it was! Thank you Don. We all had a grand time!
