Happy October!

Where the heck has this year gone?! There have been so many pivotal moments & changes in our lives thus far. Melia started Kindergarten & she lost her first tooth to name a couple. She will turn 6 this month & I have to be honest & say that I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for it. Obviously, I have no choice in the matter, but it's just crazy how much she's grown...physically & intellectually. She has made me so proud to be her mother. I know that once Halloween arrives, the remainder of the year is going to just fly by. So hold on for the ride...here we gooooo!!!

First Lost Tooth!

In addition to my birthday celebration, Melia's first tooth came out on the same evening. Yep! She was so excited. I just can't believe it! She's getting so tall & has started reading a lot more. Wow!

Another Birthday, Another Day...

As most of you know, it was my birthday last Friday. It's taken me years to actually say that out loud. Anyway, it began with a limo picking us up (special thanks to a special friend for my special gift) & then we proceeded to Mosun's in Laguna Beach. Can I just say, YUM!!! If you've never been, it's a definite must. A little small, but very cozy; trendy, but friendly. Service was awesome & quick and food was even better. Lots of beautiful looking people there, so your eyes won't get bored. We had some of the best dishes I've ever tasted at a Japanese restaurant. Then we headed upstairs to their night club, Club M, for some calorie-burning dancing. It was so much fun! Thank you, ladies, for making my birthday a special one! Lis, A, Bran & Lizzie...I love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ILAN!

My nephew's birthday is today. Ilan is his name. Happy Birthday, Ilan! We love you! He is my youngest brother's 2nd son. If you've noticed, September is a big birthday month for our family. My grandpa's was on the 16th & my aunty's was on the 18th, as well. 

Our weekend was great! Friday was a 9/80 Friday so that's a good start. Saw the movie, "The Women," on Sat night with my friend, Linda. It was great. And then we stayed for a bit to listen to the Jazz Festival in Downtown Brea w/some Starbucks. That was fun, too. Today, was a day of relaxing & ended it with a great dinner at the Miyatake's. They're so great! They're always taking care of us. 

We hope you all have a wonderful week!

Relaxing...

After a crazy weekend last weekend, I will make sure that this weekend is the complete opposite. Today is a 9/80 Friday so I will be home doing my chores: laundry, vacuuming, dusting, you know the drill. And yes, there'll be lots of relaxing in the mix. 

Today, Melia will complete her 2nd week of Kindergarten & she is thoroughly enjoying it. She loves her teacher & has made some more new friends. It's great to see what she's learning already. Did I tell you that they cook every week? I love this school!

Have a great weekend!
