My girl...and MY guy...

Jenna and I had a girls day today shopping and playing w/ fabrics embellishments and of course I could not resist a couple pictures of this smushy smiley girl! SO here she is.. in her new summer shirt she had to wear even though it's only 60 degrees and raining... I'll post some pictures in a bit of our other finds... but for now thought i'd add some cheer to a rainy day...

Oh.. She is also wearing a new BLOOM*BAND by me :) available soon...on etsy

And now for my GUY... It's been a tough week he was sick for 5 days not sick enough to keep him sitting- but sick enough not to go to school.. and here is his solution... BATTLE.. notice the full artilery of golf club in the tool belt... YIKES...

But this toothless SMILE can just melt my heart any day..
