Ballet

Penelope has been enrolled at Gustafson Ballet for the past year, and it has been so fun to see how she has matured in her classes. At the start of each semester they open the class up to the parents so we can sit and watch what the students are working on. Each semester there is a new production for the school so each class works on their portion of the show. The class starts with stretching, then they practice their routine and at the end they get a chance to just play dress up and be kids.

I love the balance of structure and play.

I had a lot of fun in February trying out my new prime portrait lens.

Enjoy the pics!

a LOVE-ly shower

So I'm currently pregnant with baby #3.

Haven't blogged too much about it because I'm currently busy with babies 1 & 2. :)

When my friends offered to throw me a shower I was so flattered and honored,

but didn't feel it was super necessary. After all this IS baby GIRL #3, so there wasn't much I actually needed. Nonetheless, its always a treat being doted on by your bestsies, and I couldn't give up the opportunity to spend an entire afternoon with some of my favorite humans.

The shower was held the day after Valentines- so a love theme it was, and oh did they play it up!

There were hearts everywhere! And one of my fav color combos, pink+gold. yum

The food was so scrumptious- because it was at brunch-time there were loads of frittatas and quiches and delicious salads.... and, of course there were desserts!

(my kinda party)

This was a party that would make any pinner drool.

A huge thanks to Erin for hosting, Lauren & Kate for making lots of delicious goodies and Rebecca for all of her lovely crafts and decor.

You ladies are so awesome and I feel so honored and blessed that you took the time, effort, money and brain power to plan this for me.

I and baby girl 3 are so lucky to have you!
