It's a LOBSTER PARTY under the sea!

 
 
What a year! I can't believe our Ella is 1!
She is my life, she is my joy. I'm so lucky to be her momma!
  
 
Boardwalk
 
 
 

 
Now we can't have a beach party without greasy, lemon splashed, newspaper steamed, fish N' chips.
These are the best "greasies" this side of the pacific, they're making my mouth water just talking about them. A new summer tradition must!
(I substituted a bottled bitter lemon drink for the beer and added a few dashes of paprika for color)
 



Are these the prettiest sodas you've ever seen! Candy to my eyes.
Watermelon Agave, Blood Orange and Pink Grapfruit.


Matt made this cute frame for Ella, our beach babe.



 
I thought it would be fitting to do some sort of hadprint art for a first birthday. I'm amazed we look as composed as we do, it was almost impossible to get ella's hand on the ink and onto the paper without getting it everywhere. RED was not a good choice! First time mom here learning as I go:) Note to self never use red ink with a one year old in a new outfit! 
 
 
 
 
 
Ella has a thing for OVEN MITTS! (and pinching:)) Couldn't be more fitting for this lobster party.
 
 
Happy Birthday to my Sweet Little Lobster, we Love you to the Ocean and Back!
 
 
A huge thank you to my mom for being my right hand, and my awesome sister in law Jamie, for the pictures. I would not have a record of this fun day without you. I owe you!
 
And to everyone who came, THANK YOU for loving our Ella!

Talking the Talk

 

House Cleaning

I won't bore you with why it has taken me so long to 'keep up' in this world of blogging, because... I know you know. Life is like a freight plane... too fast for me!
On a brighter note... Ella:)
This little babe is keeping our house squeaky clean...

Little Comedian

 
 

Goodbye Summer Sun.

Hello again.
did you miss us?

Summertime was calling.
and we PARTiED like rock stars.

Sit back, sip your last mojito and enjoy our fun basking in the summer sun.

 
 
 
 
Here it came... and there it went... the day we dream about all year long.
This years 4th of July did not dissapoint!
 
 


How did I ever get so lucky? This boy spoils me to the brim! A "pent house view" of timesquare, walking on broadway, strolling through central park like we own the place, riding carousals, snacking on French macarons from the ever chic Laduree and Grom's Italian gelato. Thank you babe for treating us to such a fantastic weekend, seeing YOU in the Big Apple is just what Little Elle and I needed.
 

 
  


 The cousins have ARRIVED!
 

 
 
 
 
 Any day is a good excuse for a party around here.
 
 
... and we PARTiED...
 
 

Cousin Misha's wedding. Stunning isn't she!!! More of this to come!
 


 
It's back to school they go and the summer has once again slipped through our fingers.
 

Truth is... it's no fun documenting life without daddy around.
He makes our life a whole lot BRIGHTER.
So in other words bring it on AUTUMN, you bring us one step closer:)
