In A Word: Perfect

 We headed to Napa for Ryan and Mandy's wedding - and constantly found ourselves in awe of the beautiful scenery. Every detail of the weekend was perfect, the setting was gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier for Ryan and Mandy. What a wonderful weekend!

Gorgeous







Really, we couldn't have asked for better weather today. After lunch, Olivia begged to stop at the beach - a short but sweet visit. In the pic above, I love the look on Olivia's face - she was scared of the "wave".

Gals in the City

We got together with Aimee and Esme for a trip the Peggy Notebaert and lunch. The girls were so excited to start the day! 












It was "disect an owl pellet" day at the Museum. Olivia loves the story I've told her of when I did that years ago - but they opted to color owls instead. 


Lunch at Frances'! Chocolate milks all around!



What a fantastic day with the girlies. Esme and Olivia really love each other's company, and it was fun to see them out and about together.
