Hellooooo wine country weekend!


It's Friday and I'm abuzz with excitement for these things:

1. Halloween Babies!
Here are some of the babes in my life in their costumes.  Some have slacked on sending me photos, so there will likely be more to come, but here's a start.  Even if you don't like babies, there might be something wrong with you if you don't think they're cute in costume. ;)

MILO & JUDE: THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG
which came first?

ARIA:  THE ONE YEAR OLD COWGIRL
doesn't my bestie's baby look natural in her western gear?

FREEMAN: PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
He lived by the sea . . . 


MATILDA:  THE CHEF
my oldest friend's 2 year old daughter, Matilda, cooking up a feast as a chef!

SAMMY:  LIL PUPPYDOG
ruff ruff!

and just for good measure . . .

LEON: THE UNICORN
he's not technically a "baby," but he is a puppy and he's my nephew!


2. My weekend digs!
Hello, California wine country!  My daddy's in town for an annual culinary conference at the CIA in St. Helena (have you seen it?  the school itself is gorgeous), so my roomie Anna and I are driving up first thing tomorrow morning to tour some wineries, eat some of Dad's gourmet food, and stay here.  Sweeeeeeet 5600 square foot luxury Napa villa!  First stop?


Hope y'all have weekends that are just as splendid--and here's to the Saints beating the Panthers on Sunday!
