There is a delightful playground at First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte (on the corner of Trade and Church). And if you go early, you get the whole park to yourself! This past weekend, Gabrielle couldn't get enough of the Tonka trunk. Does a toy get any more manly than this?! Put me on a search…

Hi Jennifer, Hi Jessica, I agree, Jessica! cute! don’t like the “why exercise?” bit considering that it is a major defender of heart disease + suspected as an ally against many more like cancer. that one i won’t be taking w/ me. Yeah, I read this on the Observer’s site and made sure to file it in my Evernote! Great advice! I love this! Thank you! Gabrielle and I met Jeffrey in Boca Raton, Florida, last week where he was giving a seminar at the Boca Raton Resort. This is an incredible place to visit. Behind the gates is a perfectly manicured oasis that we love to visit. (Especially loved the new Boaz Vaadia "The Family" sculpture that greets guests.) Everywhere… Lee, I love your thought about the ocean encouraging gratitude. For me, it encourages peace and calm…that for those moments (as few as they might be) when I am alone with the sound of the waves, all is right in the world. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Boca Raton! =) that is so cute! Made me giggle! I love all that giggling in the background. She is totally jammin’ to the music! Too cute. She is lovely jessica!! how cute is that?…just love her jessica! Jeffrey and Gabrielle and I spent the 4th of July weekend in St. Pete Beach, Florida at the Don Cesar Resort.

We were a… Oh, this brings back such wonderful memories of staying there several times on family vacations. I know it has been renovated, is it still pink? That’s how I referred to it – the pink place… Beautiful photos! Also, I am LOVING your new header! So sweet and heartfelt. Erin! All mamas deserve super silky smooth legs! HA! In that picture I used a focal feature from picnik so that eveything but Gabrielle and Frances would be blurred! As usual, gorgeous photos. Did you do some airbrushing of my legs in the one of us by the pool?! HA! Seriously though, did you? I wish i was there now. Love the kissing shot! Fun Jess! yesterday i wanted to steal the outfit, head to toe, of a 7 year old girl on the street. now i’m eyeing a baby’s bathing suit?!?! haha. Gabrielle is getting cuter with each new set of photos! She’s seems to be such a happy little girl all of the time too! love that capture with jeffrey and miss “cutie pie” together!… and such a gorgeous sunrise. looks heavenly! |
