She's so "solid" now.

Saw this on Design Mom's site and couldn't resist sharing.

catching up

Hi, hello, how are you?

Things have been busy round the compound. Plumbers in and out to give estimates for the never ending remodel. Lots of massagey-goodness: did a chair event at academie lafayette and met some wonderful people (bonjour enseignants), was asked to donate a massage and instruction class to a radio station auction, met the sweetest little baby boy, sam, for an instruction class with his mama and continuing to spa it up a bit.

Will be launching my website in the very near future. Quick peak at the logo above. Start thinking of your best haikus, there will be contests, prizes and hopefully a haiku mad-libs style generator on the site. Thank you, to my lovely husband who is so very talented. I know you are busy and I am so grateful you have taken the time to build me something so wonderful.

Saw Sex & the City last night with A. There may have been some tears -- from both of us. Yeah, I just outed you, my love. Allergies. Uh-huh, sure, we'll go with that. We then had some dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. I would like to issue a public apology to our waiter. Yes, the conversation was a bit heavy -- as was the salad. But thanks for your time and nervous looks as you approached our table full of uneaten food. Enjoy the tip and we promise to never come back.

The small people are doing wonderfully. Riley is in his summer program and very excited to start 1st grade in August. Lola is crawling and getting her bottom two teeth! Pictures soon I promise.

That's it for today, my lovelies. Be well.

Oh, the places he'll go!

Riley graduated from Kindergarten last night. It was a wonderful program that included quotes from a number of presidents and songs about capitals. They were all cranked up to about 11 and had so much fun.

Riley was Abraham Lincoln and said with pride, "as I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." JFK, John Adams and GWB were represented. All of the quotes were those that inspired and moved generations, well all but George Walker Bush. The only quote the teacher could think of was "no child left behind." There were audible smirks in the audience.

All of the kids worked so hard and were so sweet. We are so proud of Riley. He did so well and has known not only his line for weeks, but everyone else's as well. Such progress has been made this year. This was his second go'round for Kindergarten. Last year was such a struggle and he just wasn't ready. This year he has accomplished so much and grown up quite a bit. He is funny, charming, bright, creative, energetic, determined and a READER. Best decision I ever made. Look out 1st Grade here he comes!

Lola had fun at graduation, too. She sang along to each song with raspberries and squeals. Another 4 or 5 years, baby girl, and you will be there too!

damn. now you tell me.
