Dear sweet Gabrielle, May you one day come to realize how lucky you are to have Bruna here in this world – to be your companion and take such great care of you. She has been here for so many of your first milestones. And I am so grateful for her presence and her friendship….

Monthly Archives: September 2009Lovely. I too love the cream..so pretty and feminine.I also adore those shoes! I LOVE cream ruffles. Thanks for guiding me towards a name. Now I will forever call them meringue. Fun. Do you have any old cell phones lying around? Did you know you can donate your old cell phones to help potential victims of domestic violence? You can find out more info at www.verizonwireless.com/hopeline. Two ways I'm "green." 1. I buy vintage clothing. 2. I wear fun green nail polish. (Great to see the Chanel Jade get press. I've gotten many compliments wearing it.) i did the opi aragon on my toes…love it so much!! hehehe It is also mentioned in this month’s Allure magazine too! You are always on the pulse! I love ya! Miss you like mad crazy too! Hope this week to see ya! <3 There was an article in the Oct. Vogue about how the Chanel color hit the runways and then took off. I hear it’s selling on Ebay for $60 a bottle! too funny jessica..I just ordered this online..your tips have been wonderful..purchased some items from madewell(loved the store) now the nail polish , aveda phomollient for my hair and the dinner at nikkos…and check out miss gabrielle so close to sitting up!.. just love that little outfit..bet she’ll love gettin out in some of this fall weather we’re gettin here in charlotte finally! She's working on it! Absolutely LOVE the toile outfit!!! You are a great photographer! I love your design work and layouts here. Thanks for keeping us posted! Received this email from Liz and friends: My friends and I love your blog. We love to look at your daily style. We were wondering what brand of leggings or stretch pants you like best. It seems tough to find pairs that are opaque and durable. I believe you were wearing a pair on 9-1-09. Hi… LOVE those cutout leggings! Mashed potato martini, anyone? Yum. Except at first I thought that was a big glass of horseradhish and it was topped with crab. Jeffrey and I would both be pleased I think. Although everything on a potato is nice too. Good find Jess. That is very clever. I’m going to have to try that. Thanks for posting that idea. Hi Anne! Jessica, well I prefer a cosmo..but bacon cheddar sour cream and potato put in any container sounds good to me..actually a really cute idea! who would of thought? ewwwwwwwwwww we went to an evening wedding in Houston several years ago and they had a martini potato bar, i thought i was a great idea Gabrielle is adorable! Love the pics! Love this. I’d say the thing that has surprised me most about having kids is how hard it is for me to keep my lips off them. Glad to see you feel the same. Love y’all. Hi Amanda, gabrielle is lovely! can i ask where you got your scarf in the second picture? i love it! We have daily laughs here with all the funny little things Gabrielle does. And Jeffrey and I shared some belly laughs looking at the hilarious creations (and a whole lot of bacon) on thisiswhyyourefat.com. You have to take a look! Here are a couple of my favorites… The Rubix Cubewich. And The Luther Rory. Consisting… GROSS!!! forgot to mention..the “Cheese-Steak Sushi” I feel a heart attach comin on just seeing these pics..haha!..she is so kissable that little gabrielle..and you look so lovely wrapped up with all that love ..thanks for sharing I'm happy to have Madewell now at the local mall.

robin - she’s too cute for words!..and very sweet of you to compliment Bruna so well(I love her smile)…looks like from the pictures she’s loved spending every minute with your family
Kal - Jessica – SHE IS SO CUTE! She’s totally unfolding into such a sweet little girl. Beautiful brown eyes. (I think newborns are all folded up and it takes their features a bit to come to form). Adorable.
Liz - I’m dying. That last one of Gabrielle even made Henry say, “Oh, she’s so cute!”. Truly.
Sue - More precious photos of Gabrielle! With these photos, and your words, Gabrielle will have an amazing journal of her life that she will treasure when she is older. Thank you for sharing this with us!
