I co-hosted a baby shower with our mutual friend, Melissa, and Crystal’s grandma, Vi. A lovely brunch with a lovely group of women! Melissa’s vision was a victorian tea party. She did an amazing job decorating; very feminine. This is a diaper cake a friend made for Crystal’s first shower when she had Zoe. She […]

‘R’ and I went for a walk to our neighborhood park and spent a while walking around and taking photos. I loved watching his process and his eye for photos. Here’s a sampling of what he took… We have quite a few ground squirrels in the park…
