A Very DiTore St. Louis

We spent the weekend down in St. Louis--we love visiting and a huge added bonus--we got to see Uncle Rich & Aunt Janis, too. Enjoy the pics and captions...

St. Louis {June 2013}

Summer Buddies

We love hanging with our buddies, the Noonan's! They live right near my office so it's easy to get together for a weeknight dinner--and before we know it, it's 8 o'clock in the evening and the kids are covered in sand & dirt, hurtin' for a bath! What's even better is that John was home this week (yea, no travel!) and we all got to be together. Grilling, beers, hanging in their beautiful back yard--it felt like the weekend, almost.

They all sat so sweet for a quick photo just before dinner--and on second glance, I realize, it looks like John and I have boy-girl twins, not an almost 5 and almost 3 year old! When they're sitting down like this, it looks like they could be!

"Let There Be Love"

Lola danced in her second recital today! She attends an AMAZING studio close to where we live and we can't wait to watch her grow there. She has been taking a tap+ballet combo class for the last three years, but as she turns 5, she will study each style separately come fall. We're thinking tap, ballet and jazz. She did great on stage once again and had to be the cutest little dancer up there during the finale.

It's been quite awhile since Mommy has captured some photos of her with my good camera/lens. We stepped out in our "backyard"a few minutes before we left and I just love how gorgeous she looks in these--this is essential Lola sugar--AND spice!
