Maisie took center stage in her school play portraying "Little Red" a girl who is taken by the evil dragon and later saved by her sister who was born from a bayberry bush.  After her bow, the actress wanted to wind down with some sushi.  A good night was had by all !

Maisie's best boy friend came back into town for a little fun.  I let the girls play hooky from school and we went on a nature hike.  Lizards, rice & gators.... oh MY !!

Happy Birthday to You !

Pure Joy

Juliette turned 5 on February 7th.  I was in San Francisco training for my new job.. so we had a BIG party before I left.  Lots of friends and family in attendance and Juliette couldn't have been more pleased to be the CENTER of attention.

When everyone began signing happy birthday to her, she couldn't hold back and just screamed at the top of her lungs with joy.  What a heart-warming moment.  To know that my child loves life so much.
She's a happy happy happy little girl who is LOVED and CHERISHED !!
