Email from Gigi

Ruby has been spending the last few days with my wonderful parents in Houston on a little Gigi and Baba summer vacation. I just received this email from my mom to update me on their bedtime routine tonight. It was too cute to not share:

Every night when we go to bed, Ruby and I sing a couple of songs and tonight I told her to make up a pretty song for me and this is how it went:
 
"I want to grab your boobie but instead I'll grab your nose.
You are my Gigi and I love you.
Gigi look at my thumb."
 
I think she is a genius.
"Good Night and Sweet Dreams My Darling." (This line is taken from her talking bear.) I just like to think that it comes from Ruby's heart.
 
Love,
Gigi

Saggy Eggo!

Ruby and I spent two glorious weeks in Saggy Eggo this summer. Because I'm really pregnant and really hot, I have failed to blog about it until now.  But I have the week off from parenting my toddler, so I have some spare time to catch up on my to-do list.  So, here you go..... some favorites from our fabulous San Diego vacation!

Me with my two favorite California girls

 Aunt Lolly and the Rubester

Ruby and Sylvia, the sweetest cat ever. Ruby could sit with her all day long.

The two loves of my life, walking on the beach together. Love.

  Dancin'.

My handsome husband. I love how relaxed he looks here, enjoying the sunshine and about as far away as he could be from the Capitol.

 Totally not posed :)

We love sweet baby Bea.

Baby Savannah, Ruby's favorite California girl

Ruby and Mike, enjoying the view from the Green Resort. Ruby and I were lucky enough to stay with the Greens for part of our trip.  They are marvelous hosts and have a gorgeous home.

THE GRADUATE with his mom and dad! Uncle Jacob graduated from college while we were in San Diego. Handsome, funny, kind, AND with a college degree.

Aunt Lo was so proud of Jacob, and looked especially beautiful.

Ruby's Newest Girlfriend

Our friends, Cynthia and Patrick, recently welcomed the newest member of their family into the world. Ruby and I were lucky enough to meet the beautiful Elisa Maureen last week. Ruby was really into her milkshake the first twenty minutes of our visit, but humored me the last few minutes by being sweet and holding baby Elisa. Congrats, H family. Elisa is gorgeous!
