A bit of beauty

I don't have a wedding to share today, but I do have a bit of beauty to share. 

First, I had the one of the busiest weeks of my life. To start, my little sister, Adrienne, came from Arizona with her baby, Holly (11 mos) to stay with us for some 'girl time' and 'R&R'.
It was a fabulous week filled with coffee, fun dinners, late night chats and girl movies.

This week was also 'Teacher Appreciation" week at the twins' preschool. What do you give your teacher if your mom is a florist? Bouquets of flowers of course! I can't say enough about my kiddos' teachers. They are lovely ladies! 

On top of this busy week, I had a wedding on Saturday (April 2nd). Do you remember sweet Julia, the adorable bride I featured in this post? Well, Julia and Dave were married yesterday at Anthony's Fine Dining. I can't wait to share their wedding, but until I get the images from their photographer, I did have to share this sweet picture:

Don't you LOVE it?!!
 Every detail of Julia and Dave's wedding was THIS incredible!

I had such a wonderful week filled with so many happy moments. Today, I was outside playing with the kids, and I noticed these little white flowers blooming amongst a bunch of pink and fuchsia dianthus. I plucked one and breathed in its intoxicating scent. 

What were these little blooms in my yard? I kept running through the types of bulbs I planted last fall, and then it hit me that it might be a Spanish Bluebell. I googled the image, and yes, I have little white Spanish Bluebells blooming in my yard. While looking for the image, I also saw that the meaning of this little flower is gratitude. 

Isn't that perfect? 

The perfect little punctuation to end a wonderful week.
