All of these patterns....

...were found inside our room or outside in the hall of the hotel where Danilo and I celebrated our anniversary. I had never stayed anywhere so beautiful and so I tried to capture the smallest details.....as well as the whole effect....


This was Little America where we enjoyed the honeymoon package which meant sparkling cider, chocolate covered strawberries and a beautiful balcony view of downtown Salt Lake.
I am so thankful for my husband and his efforts in planning something that would make me feel so special to him (and you bet he got a dang good deal--it wouldn't be true Danilo style otherwise).
Happy Anniversary to the love of my life and the man of my dreams!!

so this is summer

We didn't do much playing outside with newborn Grace last summer, so making up for lost time paired with seeing the excitement of summer through our baby girl's eyes has made this summer a very memorable one! Some of the highlights were...

swimming

hike to Waterfall Canyon

our first 5K

Gracie's first s'more

meeting my dear friend Brooke White
(thanks to Danilo who relentlessly pulled me to the front of the crowd for a picture....
and really, if we ever got to spend some time together, I think we would be very good friends!)
