30 and counting...

5 liters of margaritas!

So on Saturday September 25th, I officially entered into my "30's." I had a lovely birthday weekend celebration that began with the arrival of our best friends from Orlando Kim, Glenn and Katie. We miss them terribly since we live 4 hours away from each other. We are so blessed to have great friends that both the husband and the wife get along.

We began the Saturday celebration with watching the FSU game at La Rumba and consumed 5 LITERS of margaritas before 1pm. We went to the cupcakery and got a box filled with cupcakes and came home and took naps. We ate dinner at Kool Beanz that night after much drama of figuring out where to eat and long waiting lines. We finished the evening dancing the night away with Caroline Conway and Stacey at club Tantra.

As if that wasn't enough, I had the pleasure of having all of my wonderful friends over to our house for a BBQ. Everyone brought there babies, chilled and had a laid back Sunday afternoon. It was absolutely wonderful.

As for 30...I am totally ok with it. I am so blessed, fortunate and grateful for all of my wonderful family and friends. I have my health, a wonderful husband and an adorable baby. If 40 comes and is this blessed than I will be one lucky girl!

Happy Hour...

I used to think a good time on a Friday night was happy hour at the bar, laughter with good friends and staying out till all hours of the night. Though this is still fun from time to time, I really do enjoy a different type of "happy hour." I now consider "happy hour" to be the evening time filled with Summer laughing at herself while reading a book,or the random talking that she does in her own language that she thinks we all understand, while all the meanwhile we just pretend that we do. My sweet girl is growing so rapidly and continues to amaze us at how smart she is. She is an all or nothing little girl. All happy or all sad. There really is no middle ground with this delightfully passionate little person. I love that she now can say "I WUB YOU" sing "twinkle twinkle little star" and crawls in my lap and says "row row" for row row row your boat. She counts, but really gets sticks with "two" that she says over and over. She loves shoes and thoroughly enjoys a good bath matched with a snuggly set of pj's and her own bed.

OH how I wish I could bottle this little ball of energy and freeze these moments of life to treasure forever.

Finger Painting

Here are a few pictures of Summer making finger paint creations. I think she got more paint on her nose, hair and high chair, but she enjoys painting so much that I don't mind when she creates the mess. Steven is much more the artist than I am, so hopefully she will take after him!
