Dad's Day

Wanted to do a Father's day shoutout to our Dad's- they are such wonderful men who love and care so much for Brian and me.
My dad is one of the most giving men I know, and makes such and amazing effort to be close to me and my little family. I love to just hang around with my dad. He is such a good man. I know he would do anything for me, and has ALWAYS been there for me, even when I was hard to be around:)
Brian's dad Bob is so much fun. He also does so much for us, and is so sweet, and just a blast to be around. Brian for sure inherited so many great qualities from him- including his sense of humor.
Brian's step-dad has taught Brian so many wonderful things, that I could not thank Kevin enough for. He is such a strong man, and truly leads by example.I have grown to love him dearly.
And last, but definitely not least, is the father of my daughter... Brian is such a wonderful Dad... I knew he's be a good one, but I didn't have a clue how much he would love his little girl. He wakes up each and every morning so excited to see her, and wants to peek in on her every single night while she's sleeping. He can't get enough of her. He works so hard for us, and we just love him to death for that. He does so much for us, and is such a incredible husband and father. Julia and I are so lucky to have him. Happy Father's day to all these great men, and to all Dad's out there!

Imogen Heap

I had to blog about this, because it was a dream come true. Last week, I finally got to go see pretty much the only person I care about in music, Imogen Heap. I've been waiting almost 5 years for her to come back to the U.S., well worth the wait! I am obsessed with her amazing talent... I listen to her music more than anyone probably should (mainly because my child is also obsessed with it, and it is the only thing that can calm her down sometimes, and make her take a nap.) So I'd thought I'd share one of the performances from her concert that night in Orlando, that I found online. Enjoy the musical goodness.

10 of them

Julia is getting so big... 10 months old now! I love it and hate it all at the same time. I love that she interacts and plays so much with us... it is so much fun, but I hate that she is growing so fast. I want her to stay little forever!
This month Julia:
-Has become a lot more social. She loves when people play with her, and she loves other little babies. Such a nice change from our little scaredy cat!
-Oh speaking of cats... she is obsessed with them, all little animals in fact- can't get enough of them.
-Is a total pig. She could eat a whole kid's meal by herself. She eats ALL DAY LONG.
-Finally figured she could stand up in her crib. It takes her forever to go to bed now!
-Still doesn't crawl. We've seen her do it right, but she likes to "army man" it better.
-Loves her sippy cup. Mom lets her have it while we watch Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before bed. She'd drink it all day if I let her.
She is such a blast. There is never one day I take her for granted. I love being able to spend all my days with her.
I realized it's been a while since I posted video, so here's some from our recent trip to Disney World. The first one was too funny, everyone around us was watching- probably because my daughter is a total freak when she is around ducks. They are her absolute favorite... she cries when we walk away from them.
