Girls weekend 2010 was another one for the books. My girlfriends and I get together once (sometimes twice) a year to reconnect and act like we are twenty something) this time we were in Phoenix and stayed and Jenni's condo. Jenni was a fabulous hostess and her and her husband Kent opened their home and treated us wonderfully. The weekend was full of....well...honestly inside jokes, stories that you wouldn't get unless you were there, and laughing. These girls keep me young and I couldn't cherish them and their friendships more. We are all very different but we balance one another out perfectly. It was a wonderful weekend celebrating Jennifer's birthday, she is such a special friend and I hope this is her best year ever. She deserves nothing but the best :) love you girls!
I wasn't completely happy with the pictures I got of Gia last round (my battery died after 6 pictures) so we tried it again on Mother's day. I realized QUICKLY that Gia doesn't "pose" for pictures as well as her big brother does, I had the toughest time getting her to even look at me! Here are some pics, we also had Aunt Estef staying with us for a few days so that was a fun treat!
Ok so I am a month behind (almost to the day) Gia had a great birthday, I got strep so that was fun (I had the flu on Luca's first bday) so I was a bit of a zombie for her party. It was great though, family, gifts, candles, cupcakes, the whole hoopla. She is growing up so fast I can't believe she is 1. She is now running , sleeping like a champ, eating like a champ, and giving us so much joy! She LOVES avocados, cheese, and whole milk. She loves to shake her head no and yes and say ya ya. She gives high fives and kisses (selectively, such a lady) She sings (sounds like the alphabet) and dances and is very attached to her blanket. I love her too much to attempt to describe.....
