As I sit here typing, I am not even CLOSE to being embarrassed that I am also enjoying a slice of birthday cake…for breakfast. No shame. None. In fact, I wish I had enough to share with all of you! :) Thank you all SO incredibly much for taking the time to share your favorite birthday stories with me!! I had a wonderful day and felt incredibly loved by family and friends. As always, I am grateful for yet another lovely year!

Now onto the announcement you have all been waiting for, the winner of the Anthropologie earrings!! Jessica Maher, who entered on Instagram will take them home! I hope you love these little beauties, Jess!

Thanks again, to all of you that entered! xo

Now to share a few moments of our Memorial Day holiday! I am loving watching our little man grow and learn. His excitement for life is infectious and makes all things special and fun. If only I could capture (and use!) some of that incredible energy!!! Ha! I hope you all had relaxing days with the ones you love, remembering those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Our kiddos are incredibly blessed to have not one, but THREE Great-Grandparents! This is Pa, Michael’s Grandfather. He is almost 93, served as a B-17 fighter pilot in WWII and is such a hero and wonderful man! We honored him yesterday, Memorial Day. He is full of memories and history (family and otherwise) that we treasure! (Of course, how can you not notice that gorgeous pile of LOBSTER!!! How delicious is that?! A feast for the ages, no doubt about it!)

On a walk with Pops (his Grandfather), Dad, and Pa, Liam brought home a turtle friend! Here, he was trying to feed the little guy some lettuce. 

Learning with DeDe!

High-fives from Pops (and a tired Loki pup).

How amazing is this sweet moment?! So grateful that this little boy is getting to know his Great-Grandfather!

Happy week, everyone!!
