Some more of this dashing young lad

Here are some updated pics of Sebastian- he is a darling baby- so good natured, and loves to talk/giggle a lot earlier than I remember the girls talking. We have a lot of fun with him and I think he's going to be a little spoiled with all these girls pampering him every second.

A weekend in Sonoma

A couple of weeks ago, my cousin got married in a beautiful winery her grandfather owns. It was spectacular- and we had a great time. On our first outing, they invited us to visit their collection of cars- and it was incredible. I think he has the largest collection of antique Mercedes in the world, alongside some major names that I can't even remember. This is just one of the 4 buildings he owns filled with these amazing cars...

 My awesome aunt and dad!

 My dad, aunt, uncle, Steve etc... outside one of the car buildings...

 Under the olive trees... the winery also makes amazing olive oil.

 They had the ceremony overlooking the winery- it was beautiful- and I can only imagine how this place looks like in the spring, not at the end of a hot summer :)

 My super cute cousin

 Partygoers

 I love purple.

 The only thing that it wasn't was hot-- it was COLD! We were freezing by the end of the night which was full of dancing, cake and tons of fun... why do always forget my flash??? It was a great weekend (minus some minor episodes of throwing up for the girls... ! but, I guess that's normal when you're traveling with 3 kids) Can't wait to go back!!

Laura

I'm not sure how I haven't posted about Laura yet- but she has been adopted into our family as a mom/aunt/grandma... and we love her. She stayed with Emilie while I went into work a couple of hours before Sebastian came, and now she is teaching my girls Spanish and working with Maddie with reading and writing. She is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. We love you Laura.

My beautiful Emilie

Emilie, Sebastian and I have had lots of time to hang out these days which has been great to get to spend some more one on one time with them. Emilie is so different from Maddie- it has been really fun to see how she loves role playing, loves everything Play Mobile, Barbies and train tracks. She can spend 1 hour with her little characters creating worlds and plays. The other day I had to take some shots of her- because well, she is beautiful (as are all of my children). But- I love white- and this are my favorite "high key" photos (photo lingo for bright and usually white photos) with my Emilie:

And, of course a funny/silly/very Emilie photo at the end :)
