I always love how cute and fresh Kessler looks after a haircut. It’s still in the process of trying to get to one length (her unintentional bangs have a long ways to go).  

I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Laine’s birthday twice this past week. Once at Shinjuku Station with Julie, then tonight with a bigger group at Mellow Mushroom. I love that we are still friends after 20 years! And not to mention that Laine is expecting her first child later this year! And I loved meeting sweet Ethan Vu tonight. I think we truly loved each other 🙂

I had the pleasure of having dinner with 2 sweet friends tonight, Karin & Heather. We went to Stock & Barrel in the Bishop Art’s District and shared Chardonnay and yummy plates like Brussels sprouts, artichoke, wagyu meatloaf, etc. I can’t wait for our next girls’ get together!

Monster secured a villa on the 18th hole at this year’s Byron Nelson golf tournament. It was the perfect spot to host 50 guests from companies around the metroplex today. We even got to see Spieth putt one in!

I walked by Jordan Spieth doing what appeared to be a mini press conference!

This sweet thing just does not get nearly as much blog attention as Kessler did during her first year(s).

**Holland, when you are reading this some day, please know I love you just as much as Kessler. Mommy has a lot less free time to hop on a blog chasing you and your big sister around. But now that I have my new blog up and running, this should be a lot easier and I will do my best to post more!

So, Holland is 14 months old today! It is so fun watching her little personality come out. And she’s a funny one, at that. Here are some things:

• Has 8 teeth.
• Sleeps all night.
• Loves to eat anything and everything.
• Walking/running like a champ (has been walking since 12 months).
• Opens doors and shutters on windows.
• Does not say much. But her motor skills are amazing compared to Kessler during this time (who was saying a lot more).
• She seems to understand most instructions and things we say.
• She does say, “Hello!!” when she holds a phone to her ear. And I see her look into the monitor and say this to (as she has seen big sister do that).
