French Riviera: Menton

   This past weekend, we went on a quick weekend getaway to the French Riviera. Our friends were planning a trip and invited us, so I convinced Aaron and he said sure! We stayed in Menton {also known as The Pearl Of France} both nights, but also visited Monaco and Nice. It was such a laid back weekend spent roaming the streets, playing on the beach, and eating delicious food. We couldn't have asked for better weather during this time of year. It was in the 50's and 60's during the day, so warm in the sun, and cooler in the shade.

ABC Baby Shower

    Two weekends ago I hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends. She is due with her second baby boy in May. I am so excited to meet him and had a wonderful time planning a small celebration for his upcoming arrival!

I decided to do an ABC/storybook theme. I ordered these printable invitations from Pretty Little Studio on Etsy. 

San Antonio Visit

    Last week I posted about our trip to North Texas and South Texas. Now I am posting all about our time we spent in San Antonio. We arrived on the January 15 and stayed until the beginning of February. We had a wonderful time and stayed very busy.

 We had relaxing nights at my parents house.

South Texas Visit

   After spending a week in DFW, I flew to San Antonio to spend some time with my family. Since I have close to 1,000 pictures from our visit with my side of the family, I'm separating our trip there into 2 blogs: South Texas Visit {Corpus Christi and Freer} and San Antonio Visit. First I am going to do South Texas where we spent a weekend with my sister and her family and then another weekend at the ranch in Freer.

    We went to Corpus Christi over our first weekend to celebrate my nephews birthday and so I could meet my new nephew. He was so precious and reminded me so much of Connor was a baby.  

He's precious!

North Texas Visit

      At the beginning of January, Connor and I went to Texas for a month long visit. Aaron had training in Germany, so just the two of us went. Getting to Texas made for an extremely long day for us: a 3 hour drive to the airport in Milan, 2 hour wait at the airport, 10 1/2 hour flight to Miami, a 4 hour layover, an almost 3 hour flight to DFW, and 1 1/2 hours at the airport waiting for a lost piece of luggage}. We were so tired when we finally got home that night!

 Our long day of travel....
