We drove to Napa on a whim to see my favorite author, Emily Giffin.  She signed all of my books!  Her daughter, Harriet, was there, too, and she helped Emmy pick out a new book to read!

Julia made Emily's instagram page along with the homemade Disney Princess autograph book that she brought to have Emily sign.

Moana, James' favorite princess

We celebrated Becca's 3rd birthday was a special Moana party at Grammy & Poppy's house!  The kids had so much fun! Our James, always the gentleman, walked Moana to her car and invited her to our home for lunch.  My heart nearly exploded watching his kind and loving gesture.
