Wedding Attire

Sometimes when things are too quiet, I know that she may be up to something. In lieu of a nap the other day, she (finally) discovered my jewelry chest and made dresses, necklaces and crowns for Honey Bunny.

Today's Bouquet :: Santa Barbara Style

Success!!!

She's crawling!

Happy Birthday My Love
