the view from our back steps


This is what was waiting for us outside our back door this morning.  I've seen the balloons over my studio before but this one was the closest yet. Somehow the photograph made it look further away than it seemed in person. The balloon was so close that we could see the people in the basket waving at us and hear them shouting hello. Just one of the many things I love about living in the Napa Valley.....

Birthdays and Butterflies



Last month we celebrated our son's 2nd birthday with an insect themed party. I got a little carried away (as I have a tendency to do) with the invitations and decorations but he had a great time and we enjoyed spending the day with friends, eating and playing!
