<br />
Raindrops from my eyes as I know any minute the call will come. My 94 year old Grandmother will leave earth.<br />
<br />
My mother will no longer have on earth her beloved Mom. I will no longer have my beloved randmother and Cupcake her great Grandma K. With one of girls missing it will never be the same.<br />
<br />
Almost two weeks ago she took a terrible fall. One week later we knew today would come. With nothing but love and admiration for "Katie" and her amazing life we smile. Peacefully we could find resolve in the amazing life she lead and the amazing lives she has given to us. She has always been an amazing role model. She has loved us so deeply and completely. She is the reason we are the strong women we are today. We know in a strange way she has prepared us for life without her. As I write without her, I know I will never be without her. She is a part of me forever. As much as I will miss her touch, her smile, and her humor, I will live my life hearing her soft voice guide me and encourage me to always do what needs to be done, always do it the right way, and ALWAYS do what makes me happy. I will remember how she has taken the time to always live life and her positive energy will flow from my heart to my life as a woman, a wife and a mother. She is the lady every woman would inspire to be. Even though she never drove a car or had a traditional job, she could get anywhere at
anytime and worked as a seamstress out of her home until the age of
91. She loved three times and outlived them all. She made each and
everyone in her life feel like the the most special person in the world. Her independence was strong and her interests in exploring the world through travel, arts, and her
collection of friends was impressive and a goal I inspire to achieve. Other than her cooking she was PERFECT.<br />
<br />
From my earliest moments of life I remember her walking and talking with me and sewing my clothes. She made me a fashionista. Always considering my creativity and color requests for everything she made me at such an early age. If pink heart buttons is what I wanted- she would find them. If it was a little itchy she would line it. If it wasn't PINK enough she would make it MORE pink for me! Today, one of her favorite creations (my dress from when I turned 1 year old- is modeled on Cupcakes's Doll.<br />
<br />
Today I want the rainbows to be bright, vibrant, and sparkle and colorful butterflies to dance around, and the raindrops from my eyes to reflect the beauty and power of my grandmother's life.<br />
<br />
She lived her life as devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great gandmother, girlfriend, sibling, friend, and neighbor. Every role she executed, she did so with absolute grace and perfection.<br />
<br />
Tonight when stars come up I will send her this message:<br />
<br />
Star light, Star bright- Katie, you are the most beautiful star tonight.<br />
Star light, Star bright- We will find you every night<br />
Star light, Star bright- We know you will guide us with your light<br />
Star light, Star bright- In our hearts we hold you tight<br />

The review of the everywhere we went for the year, the </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">crazy December schedule including the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> where he, she, me, and we have to be/attend for the upcoming month, and the "I can't believe the year is almost over" and "we are another year older" discussions- Then I heard a click in my head and started to do a my own review as this past year has been filled with so many growing pains. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">After coffee I retreated to my private space, my thoughts started running rapidly in circles in my head. Soon I came to the conclusion I may have suffered a mini midlife crisis this year after our return from the summer. Maybe earlier in the year but I ignored it! I always get a bit darker come September as I know my birthday is approaching. I happen to be one of those people who loves everyone else's birthday but my own. As you may have seen through the years, planning the Cupcake Birthday Bash starts well in advance. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">This year presented some issues that I thought better not to discuss until I had a grip on them and my position. All of the sudden the rainbows and butterflies went black and white on me. Rainbows are not so pretty in black in white. It seemed like every moment I turned a corner I found myself feeling like I didn't know anything. My natural disposition of being a problem solver was diminished. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I had only two choices: I could roll the dice and hope turning right is the right way or turn left which was going to be a difficult challenge as turning left would be to completely surrender to other's opinions. Logically, I had no choice but to turn left. When it comes to Cupcake, I take no risks. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">In November of 2011, her new teacher noticed some issues and tossed out the ADHD term to me and said the word medication. Who could have imagined the child who was reading and writing at age 4 would have academic issues? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Solution mode:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">1) Call Pediatrician</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">2) Find/Call Child Psychologist</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">3) Try to erase all of my uneducated opinions</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">4) Clean out my ears and start listening well</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Number one, calling the Pediatrician was the easiest. She and I have a wonderful relationship. I know taking the time to interview doctors prior to Cupcake's arrival was priceless. She made all of the worries go away for the moment. Her simple advice of let's wait because she is only 6 and come back to this in the Spring was just what I needed to hear to relax.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Number two, find and call a Child Psychologist proved to be a bit more challenging as I needed someone to be the potential person who would test her but would be willing to counsel me (I needed more help than Cupcake!). After 6 referrals, the list was reduced to three (Female ONLY). I made the first big step and started weekly sessions with Dr. W in December. This took care of number 3 & 4.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">After about 8 sessions and a box of tissues with Dr. W the changes started to occur. I was no longer stuck on my position that I would never medicate my child but I would accept the guidance of the professionals. Now I understood her academic abilities and the possibility of ADHD were not the end of the world. Coincidentally, the problems at school were getting worse. Cupcake has started to realize she needed more assistance than the others by constantly needing the directions repeated and the frustration was driving her to tears. She started to feel like the cry baby. At the moment she realized she felt different, my heart cracked. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Solution mode. I made my final one on one appointment in February 2012 with Dr.W before setting one for her to meet Cupcake in March. I coordinated the school, the Pediatrician and Dr.W so everyone was communicating. All of us completed the tests required before Cupcake's testing. Eight of the nine came back close to identical. The only questionable one was from Mr. Daddy. This is a whole different topic. When spouses do not agree on medical issues for a child would be the next biggest hurdle I would encounter. One I will leave to discuss next year.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Without a doubt she was diagnosed with ADHD. In May we started the exploration of medication. Dr. W and I met again prior to starting medication as I was relapsing in my thoughts. My logic was so persistent. I couldn't understand how the magic of a little pill would be a solution. I closed my eyes and clicked my heels three times and gave myself permission to give her the pill. I did this for the last month of school before we departed for the summer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Cupcake's school world changed dramatically. She came home after a week saying things like I understand Mrs. C now (like Mrs. C spoke Chinese all year?) and I am the first one finished everyday so no one has to wait for me to leave for recess, and most importantly for my ears- I don't cry anymore.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Not knowing anything about everything in this arena was a challenge but there was one more lingering thought: Dr. W mentioned in our last meeting</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> when a parent is ADD or ADHD with a child who is the same, this </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">compounds the problem for the child. Without boring you with the whole story, I was diagnosed with the same. It was a life changing discovery at 40. All I can say is my condition did worsen her condition. We are both taking meds and our world is different in a good way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">NEW TOPIC:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Now that I feel like a new girl and a new mother- changes were in order.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">When we returned from the summer I made a list. I decided to pull out the dreaded favorite pair of jeans that don't fit from twenty something (gosh they look tiny) but I am determined to wear them soon! I decided to spend more time playing tennis and playing with toys (like I did when I was 20 something). Lucky Cupcake! She now has every favorite toy I could find from my childhood from shrinky dinks to boggle. The motherly nagging was going to be eliminated. Everyday I was spending too much time (as a mom) being concerned about what she ate (all 3 items on her menu) so I decided she can eat whatever she wants because if I was 20 something I probably wouldn't waste so much time nagging. Seriously, I haven't met an adult yet who eats mac n cheese 14 times a week. Here is the big one, no more retirement. Not working for the past 3-4 years has made me feel uninteresting. Retiring by 40 was a stupid goal at best. Certainly not an interesting place to be so a new business was born. I leaked it a few weeks ago but I can't wait to share it with you.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">DollDigz of America. If I counted correctly it may be lucky number 7 for business creations. DollDigz is in full motion. What better for a seven year old little girl than to have a mother who is so off the hook that she decides to develop and manufacture the first dollhouse for the 18 inch doll? Does anyone not have an American Girl Doll or a like 18 inch doll? It has been so much fun. Literally has taken me all over the world. I promise to debut the really neat details in January. Below I will share a few pictures of some of the rooms in the 18 inch doll's new Digz.</span></span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">My mini breakdown had a few good results. We play a lot more games together. Even on the plane! (cupcake completed her 36th flight last month) I was able to get some of them in travel editions. My tennis went from I suck to I really don't very quickly. I love working and the travel is refreshing- I think they say, "distance makes the heart grow founder?" She came home last week and said can I try an apple and I really don't want mac n cheese (yes, I thought I was hallucinating). Cupcake and I have started arguing everyday and even worse when she has friends over because they take my toys and I take her dolls. My work materials are mistaken for toys and I take her dolls for models in the house and she can't find them. I concluded she shares nicely, better than her mother! I am confident we will work this one out. Solution: Santa will bring me a couple AGD's and everything I order for work- I will order an extra for Cupcake. Most importantly school is going fantabulously for Cupcake!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Living and playing like twenty something has been fun and Cupcake promised if anyone asks, " how old is mommy?" her reply will always be TWENTY-NINE. She pinky promised with me.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Now is the time of the year where the time disappears and then we wake having to remember to change the 2 to a 3 so I want to wish you and your family the most amazing holiday season and a very Happy New Year's! Wishing all of you an even better 2013.</span></span></div>

Looks like we are going to wake up soon to say I can't believe 2012 is almost over. Whoever said as you get older the clock ticks faster- SO TRUE! I just had a D*** Birthday and it is coming up again. How come when we are little it seems like forever for our next Birthday and then you turn 30 the clock starts ticking double time, ARGHHH!</div>

I want to be a better blogger. Since 2006 I have been blogging mostly about Cupcake and little about the annoyance of a neighbor and both with a little humor and few irritants. I have had some positive responses and some not so positive responses ( those get deleted quickly!). Overall I like sharing the journey of life with my daughter because I really didn't know...SO MANY THINGS! To think when I was 14 I knew EVERYTHING and my parents knew nothing! By the time I turned 30, I realized I knew very little and I was truly embarking on adulthood. Even though I try to convince Cupcake I am a 29 years old, I am not so bent about turning 41 (ok, a little bent). Life is more interesting is "learning" mode and Cupcake is an amazing teacher. Her infectious smile and seven year old perspective on life is so interesting, entertaining, and a lesson in so many ways. Cupcake's world is a place of rainbows, butterflies and unicorns. Of course there are a few bees and bee stings along the way but she always seems to see the vibrant yellow and black stripes after the sting. She has taught me to smile in the morning even if I wake feeling grumpy and hugs and kisses every night are paramount (after milk & cookies). She is the best reminder that it is just as easy to say things nicely (how far I have come even in the most contentious situations as being a role model in front of her trumps the "point." As she is getting older it is difficult not to feel she needs me less but it isn't really less, it is needing me differently. I find myself wanting to brush her teeth (i still scrub them well when I can sneak it in!) or tie her shoes (and sneak a thigh tickle) but she is a BIG girl now! She has an opinion- OMG does she ever! For the most part, I love her opinions and perspectives on life and friends. I look forward to sharing more of her perspectives on life next year!</div>

Today I have had an overwhelming sadness as I am following a story of a missing little 10 year old girl in Colorado- Jessica Ridgeway. My heart breaks for her mother. I feel sick to my stomach of the thoughts that run through my mind. I think of all of the little girls who have been kidnapped, murdered, and never returned since my obsession with following these stories (which started in 2005). I hesitate to start writing about this topic because it is a topic that will only bring tears. However it is so important to talk about it. The more we talk about it, the more conscious we are of our surroundings. Hopefully this will lead to better decisions. If your child has to walk to school, make sure there is supervision, if you are on a playground don't turn around to take a call, and if you are a mall, amusement park, or any large event- do not blink an eye. if you go to the movies be prepared to throw your child under a chair and lay on top of them. If your child is going to a friends house restrict them on going to a playground or a crowed event if you aren't sure your child will be supervised in the SAME fashion you would. Talk to your child about running, screaming, and hiding (in a healthy and unalarming manner) as preparing them is our job! Most importantly, don't feel guilty or negative about thinking there are so many people in our country who harm children because this is the truth. It is the reality of living in America. With freedom comes many people who abuse their freedom resulting in crimes on children. While it is important to be charitable in many facets from sick children to the less fortunate- don't ever risk the safety of our children. I may sound a bit crazy and I know some deem me to be a bit (ok, a little more than a bit- Cupcake may not see a public event without me until she is 21) over protective, but I do prefer the chit chat about my craziness on this topic then the possibilities if I am not. More on this topic later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime, send strength and hope to Jessica Ridgeway's family!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fancy Nancy replaced Dr.Seuss very quickly! I love Fancy Nancy too. We have read them together and she loves reading them on her own. When the "The Mermaid Ballet" book arrived we both gasped as it was just a beautiful book, a great read, and even better the Vital Theatre was rolling out the red carpet for the premiere. Cupcake was not missing the show. We have attended "Pinkalicious" which was also at the Vital Theatre in NYC and didn't think it could get any better BUT...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All I can say it PERFECT! She got to meet Jane O'Conner (the author -below), have her book autographed and sit with the cast. All she can could say to Fancy Nancy...ARE YOU REAL?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fancy Nancy was so REAL!!! A perfect day in the world of Cupcake!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The show is playing for a couple months so if you have the opportunity and you are in NYC- Don't miss it!!! It is a MUST SEE!!!</div>

FIRST trip to the doctor for an injury. YES, you can get hurt with child proof scissors. YES I did forget to remind her to use on PAPER ONLY. While attempting to cut a thin piece of plastic she took out of the trash (pretty purple) to make a mask?? The scissors cut a nice chunk on the tip & side of her finger...ARGGHHH! Mother's guilt at its finest. Dr. Daddy bandaged and got us to the hospital successfully!</div>

Walking the streets of Barcelona is a museum- taking pics were so much fun. Barcelona deserves its own entry. From Tapas Bar Bike to the beaches- we walked until we passed out but enjoyed every minute! I miss you my pitcher of Sangria, you brightened every evening and tasted heavenly with every dinner!</div>

<br />
All I can think is HOT PINK & Zebra for her party!<br />
<br />
I will post some party preview pics this weekend.<br />

We went before baby and it was one of our favorite trips. It is a quick flight, and a great resort. If you love water like Cupcake, it is endless hours of many pools and beaches. Since it was spring break, there was never a moment she couldn't find kids her age to play. We got back last week. School is now closed Thursday until Tuesday, I thought last week was Spring break?<br /><br />The night before we left, her top tooth was hanging. The second night it fell out and now...she looks like a big kid. The pics look like a daddy & me trip - I am just the family photographer.<br /><br />Anyway- 2 thumbs up for a great family place! Swimming with the Dolphins was Cupcake's favorite activity! Being 48 inches could of been the only thing to make her trip better. She didn't like not being able to go on all of the slides and not so crazy about wearing a vest for the rides they let her go on- but overall it was a week of BIG SMILES and lots of laughs!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNtLfY_VPB7AyWmn1KOygyLurjKV66N75AUoupf21uBZhyS_YuwbZu45XgelELpiNQ4V-QkwlbN1l3FaX4VtPR22mQ11PWpN2xiscNiRyxf1XBHrs0S2TdDXpjvUT0IJDdfRjp5wOgZg/s1600/P3170007.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We miss our beloved Scooby. October was a busy month. The next week we went to NY to see Pinkalicious. The girls LOVED the show. Cupcake brought her best bud from home Lilly, my goddaughter Alayna, and we met her favorite girl in NJ-Olivia & the most famous peanut from Brooklyn Leila. When we arrived the night before the show we made a quick pit stop to American Girl. While walking in the City Cupcake saw Angry Bird T-Shirts in a window so matching T-shirts with Daddy had to happen. We had a blast. </span><span style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:verdana;" ><br /><br />The minute we arrived home she changed into a matching outfit with her Baby and then a matching outfit with her Daddy. You would think after a four hour ride she would pass out. Soon after she went digging through the AGD bags to find the sleeping bag for her Baby...good night.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh2mhi6L_qtrsv7zIEaLGB87g62hjdPz5YoAKuvUsLpS2ssAxy8pSNTfL-ptf21XiyrmHAFVzjzCSgn1fUMZ97BWV1T6sjROgLcwHI0gMH0yhKKiURvyvRxR7_R1qDtI0aWpuOM2giZmc/s1600/DSC00317.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We were at Nana & Poppy's for dinner and my mother just gave her the cutest book with a little tine with a heart. About 2 minutes after we sat down for dinner, Cupcake calmly handed me her tooth.<br /><br />What happened next, I wasn't quite prepared. She lost it! The site of a drop of blood and the site of herself in the mirror with a little (I mean tiny) gap in her lower jaw sent her through something I can't describe. She really thought she looked ugly. I was shocked. We were saying and doing all we could to make her feel beautiful but she was on LOCK DOWN- didn't hear a word we were saying. Just like she was a baby I videoed and played back for her and it calmed her immediately.<br /><br />Later that night she made a plan. She wrote the toothfairy a letter (can you tell we have been reading Silverlicious) and asked the toothfairy to please not take her first tooth and her favorite candy is a rainbow lollipop. Since we explained to her the toothfairy has to take something to leave her a treat- she was very worried about her tooth being taken. <br /><br />Being Superhero Dad, he left dinner early to start driving around to find a rainbow lollipop.<br /><br />I waited until she finally fell asleep to snatch the note from the little tin which was in her little toothfairy pillow and put a shiney quarter and a rainbow lollipop in its place. <br /><br />She must of woken up in the middle of the night. I heard her whisper- Mommy the toothfairy came.<br /><br />I guess she left everything under her pillow and went back to sleep.<br /><br />We woke in the morning, and she screeched she left my tooth and left me a beautiful rainbow lollipop. Her face was priceless. I think I held back the tears harder than ever before! She is such a big girl.<br /><br /><br />I will post a bunch of pics real soon- as soon as we return from her surprise trip this weekend!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674096132959787253.post-7387989071960255182010-10-12T14:17:00.002-05:002010-10-12T14:23:30.934-05:00Cupcake & Cupcake's BFFI was thinking if I was Cupcake reading through my Mom's Blog- what would she say....<div><br /></div><div>OMG she would not be happy if she didn't see a pic of her BFF.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since the day they turned 2 they have seen each other almost every day school was opened. School turned into camp so for the past three years of their short little lives their world has been about seeing each other. This each Kindergarten separated them but lucky them- Mom & Mom are friends so we make sure they see each other. Last week Marco & I took the girls to dinner. Since the BFF's Mom had to tend to other business they got to take showers and play before bedtime.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the camera went up- this was the first pose.

We are getting ready for the annual Cha-Cha Bash. Celebrating the life of our daughter is the greatest time of year for us. Marco has been working endless hours the past 3 weeks building her playhouse. A little or ALOT of wood chips, a few flowers in the flower boxes, and the furniture set up inside- ALL FINISHED BY SUNDAY!<div>This past month has been all about the Cha-Cha bash. From goodie bags to the wedding cake every detail is in place for a great day. Most importantly all of our special friends are arriving from out to town to join us. We truly are so delighted all of our friends and family will be here.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
