Catching Up Through Photos

We had a lovely time at Nicks Cove on Tomales Bay for Valentine's day!


March, Caitlin's Birthday

April  Easter

HI!!!!!

I did not want to be away from my blog for so long, but it happened anyway and so much life has happened. I'm not going to try and write a big old post because it's impossible at this point, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
A highlight so far this year was going to Nick's cove for Valentine's day. That was such a lovely trip, and celebration of Valentine's day. David surprised me with this trip and it was so special. I would love to go back again for sure, and if you live near by or if you happen to end up in this neck of the woods of California, you should stay here! (Click on name)
Caitlin turned 29 this year. Her last year of being in her twenties......We had a lovely dinner at our house, and this year she wanted to have her favorite dinner from when she was a little girl. Roasted chicken, red potatoes, and artichokes. I made her a yellow cake with Martha Stewart's killer chocolate frosting! It's the best, and I'm not a frosting person.  I also tried to put in some photos of miss Ruby as well. It's impossible to not flood the blog with her beautiful face, but most of my fun day to day photos of Ruby are on Instagram and my stories. If you want to see more up to date photos of her, go on there.( @gossamerwings)
Ruby's Easter dress took a long time to execute hahah. I have been stalking this pattern on Etsy forever, and could not wait to make it for Ruby's first Easter. The minute Caitlin and I put it on her, we were in love! I almost didn't make the bonnet because we thought she might pull it off, but I felt that it really made the outfit. I'm so glad I did, because she didn't take it off and we were able to get lots of photos of her in it. We took so many cute pictures, that I should almost do a whole post on it, but it might be overkill.
For dinner I made a half leg of lamb and a new veggie recipe with cauliflower from the "Plenty" cookbook. Since Easter snuck up on me this year and I was fully entrenched in making Ruby's dress and have time to make dessert this year. I bought this adorable bunny cake from Whole Foods. It was so good.

Today is May 9th, and tomorrow is Ruby's birthday! This time last year we were in the hospital awaiting Ruby's arrival. She was born in the wee hours of May 10th after 26 hours of labor. I made her a special birthday dress, and that my friends will be the next post! Ruby's first birthday.

I will do my very best to not fall so far behind. Is anyone really reading this blog anymore though, or has it just become my documentation for my own amusement? I truly would love to hear from anyone who has followed for a while or if you are new and you stumbled on here. Leave me a comment, I'll answer back. Stay tuned for Ruby's birthday post, which will be on Sunday or Monday since her cute little party is on Saturday.
