We Did It!

Way to go Phils!

Richie and Gabriella Part II

We had a lovely vacation in Phoenix/Tempe to celebrate Richie and Gabriella's wedding. So much love and family, so many beautiful moments and special details. My heart is still pitter-pattering! We didn't manage to get a picture of all *five* of us at the wedding, but here we all are...


No words necessary here. Thank you Elissa for letting me borrow your dress!

Another lovely couple.

With plenty of entertainment and loving arms for the children, we managed to enjoy a drink and dance together. Thank you Richie and Gabriella!

Richie and Gabriella Part I

Two lovely gals! I have to say Gabriella seemed quite at ease cuddling the kids all weekend...

Simona and Cora line dancing. Cora did not part with her new purse from Argentina all evening. Where did she learn this?

Tricia and Sam cutting a rug - so cute!

But Sam only slow-danced with Cora...someone has a crush!

We had a wonderful week in Arizona for Richie and Gabriella's wedding. Unfortunately (as usual) our camera mostly served as a paperweight, but here are a few pics we captured.

King of the mountain!

Here at the zoo - such cool flora!

One of the greatest parts of the trip was spending time with family - here's a crew in the whirlpool. Ah, such lovely time spent poolside.

Skool!

Off to kindy-garden!

Getting us all off in the morning is still a small feat.

The new queen of the roost - although she mostly asks about when we will be picking him up... (Shown here in her absolutely favoritest ensemble "butterfly shirt." I have had to hide it to get her to wear anything else.)
