Bambino

In November I was able to go to CA for a quick trip to attend a very special Baby Shower for my good friend Julia. It's been 5 years in the making!! (She's the cute one in green sitting in the chair on the right. I know- she doesn't look pregnant). Before we left Orange County, I told Julia that I'd come back for her shower. I loved catching up with her and seeing her in all her cuteness and swollen feet. We are so thrilled for Julia & Ben and the arrival of their new cutie pie.

The trip was perfect timing because it was also the Birthday for my super good friend Patience. She has known me since I was in my 2nd trimester with Sienna. And she was my first friend when we moved to Orange County after graduating college. She is one of the most amazing women I have ever known. She is strong, smart, sassy, compassionate, loving, and completely devoted to the Church and her family. And she is an extraordinary mother. You're not going to believe me but it's true....she is the mother to 5 beautiful children. No really!

She is a true friend.

Happy Birthday Patience!!
