No Evil

SEE No Evil,

HEAR No Evil,

SPEAK No Evil!

I absolutely LOVE this! Of course, these will be displayed in Gavin's new big boy room! Showcased in over-sized, square matted frames, these will make for a perfect photo art wall!

lil' Piano Man

So, you have seen our silly little family outing in the previous post, but the fun didn't stop there! Gavin was sure to perform a little break dance on the grand piano! Thank goodness my mini cam takes video clips because I captured the cutest moment of my lil' piano man...

We met up with Uncle John and cousin Sofia while at the PTM and were sure to grab a few photos with my brand new mini pocket cam, perfect for places like these.

The best part is... Gavin is awesome with the camera as well, and insisted on snapping a few of Mommy and Daddy! I think I've taught him well, or perhaps this is just a taste of my own medicine and payback for taking way too many pics of him on a daily basis!! ;)

Of course, a family photo is always in order!

Until our next PTM outing, stay tuned! :)

Oh, the Silliness!

Well, our family outing to the Please Touch Museum today sure brought out much silliness...

we just couldn't resist!

The PTM is such a fave hotspot of ours, we go there often and just have SO much (sometimes too much) FUN!

PBK Inspiration

Well, my love for PotteryBarnKids (and many shopping adventures throughout the past few months) inspired me to collect a few pieces to create a new bedroom and play area for Gavin! Over time, we scored some fab deals at PB and their outlets. This is what we compiled so far,

Young Love

This post is dedicated to my adoring parents,

I love them more than life itself!

They taught me so much throughout my years, but their 'Young Love' is so inspiring! Married for almost 33 years, these two lovebirds are paving the way for us to follow in their footsteps...through all the good and bad!

Love you Mom and Dad!

Sisters

I absolutely adore my big sister! From little on up, she was always my best friend and was sure to take good care of me... even 28 years later! Aren't those chubby cheeks, and coordinating outfits just too cute! Deed, I love ya big sis!

Then, a few years later, the cutest little addition came into our world...and we got to experience the blessing of having a sweet baby brother as well! Of course, that's a whole new post itself!
