Treasured Moments


In my past travels, I have made some quality friends. These, as you know, are people you don't have to talk to everyday. or even every month, to be able to be good friends with.
My friend Elizabeth text me a few Mondays ago, "Where are you?", I text back, "Home, where are you?".
She was in Key Biscayne as our usual meeting spot. So being so close, Gary reserved a room and we went down the following weekend. We hadn't see each other since last year, but its one of those comfortable friendships where you catch up and talk, then its nice to sit quietly by the pool and lounge. Our kids are finally at the age where they can all play together, which is so much fun to watch. Her daughter Catrina is five and looks like Stellas sister. Hair and everything.
So here are some of my favorite things.
Stella hanging out on the porch coloring. A sun baby just like her mom. And yes, we do use sunblock.
Stella in the pool, and Stella with a sitter for a few hours while we go downstairs and try and have conversation that isnt something about our children, but its hard. :)

Another favorite moment?
Stella is studying dinosaurs in school right now. She talks about them often and wants to read about them. So yesterday I was browsing through TJ Maxx and found a "Hear and Feel Dinosuar Book". Its has pictures and buttons on the side that roar with the different dinos. On eack page there are things to feel . The TRex is loud and a meat eater, the next a plant eater, feel the smooth leaves. The next is the Tricerotop, sp?, and you can feel the roughness of his horns. Stella is talking about each of them as we are driving down the road. She then mentions "ewww, he is really horny"
WHAT?????????
Oh yes, he does have a few horns. What is the next page Stella?
