Fun Saturday

Brandon, Bailey, Frani, and I have a Saturday morning tradition that we have been doing quite consistently since only a few weeks after Bailey was born. We stay in our sweats and take amorning walk through Old Town Tustin to our local Starbucks. We get our coffee and sit outside with Bailey and relax. So here we are enjoying the cool saturday morning-loving that it was cold!


We then went to our friends house Stacey and Ben for a late breakfast. They made wonderful omlets. We meet about once or twice a month with a group of friends and rotate houses and meals. Wish I had a picture-next time but great fun.


So, if you have been over to our house in the past year you may have looked at our front yard tree and thought, "why do they have a dead tree in their front yard?" Well, when we moved in about a year ago we planted a Jacaranda tree. Very soon after it was in the ground it lost all its leaves and looked very ugly. I called the nursery and they told me it should revive around summer. So, we waited a whole year and kept questioning the stick in our front yard and sure enough it never revived and we have had a dead tree in our yard for a year now. HOWEVER, we got the tree replaced and now have a live Jacaranda tree!! It has leaves and all! Brandon and my dad planted the tree in the afternoon.

We are excited to watch Bailey and the tree grow together.
And to finish off the day Brandon and I had a date night! For father's day I got him tickets to see The Swell Season (the music from the movie Once). The show was at The Greek in LA which is a beautiful outdoor theater surrounded by pine trees and you can see the stars. The show was awesome and their music was very passionate and real. Brandon and I loved cuddling up with some hot chocolate and listen to some great music.



Here is Glen Hansard.
