first day!

I am a little late with this post but here we go.  Arianna is now a kindergartener and Rylan is in pre-k and both attending the same school. 

Leaving early morning!

tooth fairy

My little girl is growing up.  I can't believe that at five and a half Arianna has already lost her first two teeth, both in a week from each other.  She was so excited for her visit from the tooth fairy in which she received a 5 dollar bill for each tooth (the tooth fairy is a bit expensive these days).  I fondly remember my days of losing teeth and I was elated to collect a whole 25 cents.  This is just one of the first moments of many special ones to come for my beautiful baby girl!

Picture of the loss of her first tooth!!!

the beauty of boston

It was one of those weekends we were without our little angels and Ryan and I thought a day date was well deserved.  We spent the day in Boston.  I spent the day with my lovely husband and my eye behind the camera.

Four years ago on July 31st 2007 at 9:31 PM (exactly 1.5 years from the birth of Arianna) I gave birth to the most amazing little boy who has made my world even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.
