Liv Turns Three!!!!

What an amazing child we have... Liv is so sweet, so kind, so silly- she melts our hearts. She is the first to split her food to share, or rub someones back if they are hurt... She is also Strong willed and feisty, full of humor and perfect comedic timing.....

I am the luckiest woman in the world to parent these kids-

Liv requested a butterfly themed party-

We made two butterfly cakes...







Ira and I made her a special birthday girl wand....



Ira made her a butterfly card...



And painted her a mask....



Liv got a new dress and "glass slippers"....











The piñata- almost impossible to break...
















We had a butterfly craft station...




And a lot of mess....I mean... FUN!

My birthday!

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! It was wonderful to get so many calls and emails and texts and facebook messages! I feel very loved :)

Jared surprised me by staying HOME from work!

And with tickets to---

















In case you were unaware, the Musée d'Orsay loaned out two collections during its renovations...

More info here!

I also got this new cd....

















We had a great lunch in the outdoor cafe tent...

















With a pretty view and nice breeze...

















Then we let the kids run their food off before our time to go in to the exhibition....







































































Of course there are no pics of us inside, but liv and Emers FELL asleep in the carriers! Liv on jared and Emers on me! How lucky!
Ira really enjoyed it, as well... She asked a lot of great questions and has a really great eye.


After the museum we walked around....





Checked out the pond...



Ira made a lilly pad...








This is a classic picture. I'm making a weird face and liv won't look.

We had a blast!
