why does it have to end?

I cannot believe that summer break is almost over. Thankfully I don't work for LAUSD- they went back to school this week.  Technically I still have 2 weeks of vacation but I have to go back next week to get my new classroom set up. I am so sad to have my time with the little one ending. I love teaching and I don't think I could ever be a stay-at-home mom, but I wish I had a few more months to be home with Olivia. I guess the Thanksgiving break countdown will start a bit earlier than usual this year...

Our summer in review:
lots of snuggling, lunching, shopping, going to museums, food trucking, traveling, and lots and lots of growing

my sweet olivia

I'm super lucky to have a cousin who is also a photographer. The other day she came by for a visit and took these gems (and many more) of my sweet baby girl.

Amazing, right? I'm super duper excited to see the others.

more lunching...

Olivia and I were lucky enough to be able to sneak in a little lunch with Dennis yesterday. We went to Chalet Edelweiss, a little Swiss restaurant that's near us. Dennis got wiener schnitzel and I got a bratwurst sandwich. Everything was so super delish!

even the iced tea is good

hahaha, i'm such a mean wife

my sweet baby just hung out the whole time 

I love our little lunch dates! Happy weekend everyone!

Palm Springs Getaway

A few weeks ago we went to Palm Springs for a little weekend getaway. I had read about The Saguaro on this fabulous blog awhile ago and was dying to go. So, when groupon had a deal I was all over it.

We spent most of the weekend laying around and talking about how adorable Olivia is. (This seems to be what we do most of the time these days.) We got in a little shopping, some hanging out by the pool and lots of eating.

the pool. don't you love all the colors?

If you're looking for a fun (and affordable) hotel in Palm Springs I would definitely check out The Saguaro.  We loved it!
