Love this Spring/Summer 2011 Marimekko fashion show at what looks to be a flower auction ...

It is amazing how simple joys in life undo small nuances! Leo is starting to talk, saying B words like baby, ba-ooon (balloon), boool (ball), and this evening while he was eating a banana, he screamed out b-nana!!! These moments overjoy me and become memories I will treasure ...

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. {from the television show The Wonder Years}

I love summer!!
