I can’t believe that I have a three year old! Today is Dahlia’s birthday. Yesterday we had a party at our house and some family and neighbors come over. The neighbor girl across the street made her this Doc Mcstuffins cake with purple fondant. How cute is that cake?! She is eleven years old. I knew the girl was good but I was blown out of the water

photo by anna ligocki photography I wanted to give you guys a little update on Penelope (here are some previous posts on what she has been through). She is doing so well! She has been eating everything by mouth for a month now. She is really doing well with solid foods and takes a bottle no problem. That has been a huge step in the right
Dresses: Vonbon, Headbands: Vonbon, Shoes: Minnetonka I love having the girls wear matching outfits. Dahlia, my older daughter, seems to really be into it now too.

Following the breathing tube, she had to weaned off of sedation medications. The list of ups and downs from the experience
It’s been a whirlwind of a week. Penelope developed viral pneumonia in her lungs, so she is still on a breathing tube. Because of her belly surgery, they can’t do some of the things that they normally would to speed up her recovery, so it looks like we’ll be here for a while longer.

I love all the white, although some of these photos turned out a little yellowish? Any tips on getting rid of yellow tones in photos? I got this latte/espresso maker a couple weeks ago and I am in
