Next week Daniela will dance at the theater for the first time. She has been attending ballet classes for two years and now the time has come to show everything she has learned.
Yesterday they had their first dress rehearsal before the big day. Lots of tulle, sequins, shiny lame fabric and excitement.
My boy's birthday party is next Saturday. This year he asked for an animal theme party... again. He even wanted me to make exactly the same gum paste animals as last year. I want to please him, but I also think it will be boring to have the same thing so I varied the theme a bit and changed the shape of the elephants and will make an elephant birthday party instead of an African safari.
Giraffes, zebras and the king of the jungle are also invited to the party.
Yes, it is finally here!! Today the rain was real. For the last several months it hadn't rain at all which is unusual in these months. So when it finally rained today I found it very emotional.
The rain reminds me of my childhood days in Costa Rica and the wet muddy months in Kenya.
Everything is brown and wet, even our dog Russell.
On our way to school early this morning I asked my kids if they were happy it was finally raining and they both answer with a definite NO... seems I am the only one enjoying the umbrella and wellies.

Vivi Bambini shared these photos of her wonderful shop with me. They feature her holiday display of Fournier Fall-Winter 2009-10 dresses.
Silk shantung in crimson red, sage green, ivory, taupe and baby pink for the little girls to wear over the holidays. Some of the dresses are hand embroidered on the skirt with flower motifs. Baby alpaca and bamboo sweaters and boleros to match the dresses and keep them warm.
Vivi Bambini is located at 11 Sheridan Avenue. Ho-ho-kus, New Jersey.
These are my latest crochet necklaces. I made them for my daughter Daniela who loves to wear them with any outfit. I made baby alpaca flowers and joined them with pima cotton double crochet chains. I'll borrow them from Daniela sometimes...
I've had Julia Child's "Baking with Julia" for almost twelve years and have tried almost every recipe in the book. This Berry Galette is a favorite of ours. I don't usually mix the same berries, just use what I have in the fridge and sometimes more than the recipe calls for.
This time I mixed blackberries and strawberries and added some honey to the mix.
We licked our fingers!
This is an easy to wear outfit from my fall-winter 2009-10 collection. A printed cotton top and a soft featherwale corduroy skirt. The pima cotton sweater has a velvet ribbon tie in chocolate.
This is one cute outfit from my fall-winter 2009-10 collection. The pant and coat are made with cotton corduroy and the top is cotton voile. The crochet scarf is baby alpaca in a soft latte color.
