I just don't understand why.....

Jacobe doesn't want a 3rd?!

Jacobe Saves the Day!

Poor, poor little hummingbird flew into our house. I had the girls sequestered in our room becuase I thought the little thing just might poke out one of our eyes. It was flying around frantically. All it took was a little encouragement from the broom to get him out of the skylight and into my husband's hands. I'm glad to report the hummingbird survived.

Weekend Getaway in Napa

A weekend getaway without the kiddos! How relaxing to just do nothing but drink wine and spend time with my sister and her boyfriend. We got a personal tour of Folio Winery (Thanks Michael!) and then went on to a wine event my sister was in charge of putting together. The best part was having cocktails at Mustards Restuarant, walking back to our cute cottage (Stacey's house) and then traveling on to the Mondavi property where Michael lives and having a wonderful dinner!!

The old carriage house transformed into a living quarters. Here is Jacobe watching football and enjoying more wine.


Sunset above the vines.


Jacobe pretending to be interested in what the wine man was telling him. All he really wanted was a class of wine. Hurry up and pour!


Enjoying the beautiful weather.

L.O.V.E

Being that I work full time, I cherish the moments I can just hold my girls close to me. After feeding Kaitlyn 8oz of milk (she is such a pig!) and laying her down to sleep, Ava climbed into my arms. While talking with her about her day, she aburptly turned to me, looked me in my eyes and said, "Mamma, I love you" and went off to play. I told my husband, it's the first time that I felt Ava told me she loved me and actually knew what she was saying and how she felt. I will always remember this moment.
