loving on sweet baby sture in san francisco.

the four-day girls getaway started in san francisco where we got to meet lisa & reed's seven-week-old sture. the sweet swedish babe (sture is pronounced stir-ee) arrived on danny's birthday and the two boys share the same middle name. d was pretty pumped.

it was so perfect for the new mom that we were all coming to her city for our reunion trip. we spent a full day relaxing in the city with the group's newest mom and bebe.

little sture is the first boy in the group! we've got four girls and one boy now. 

my turn to love on him!

 the new mom had delicious homemade croissants, espresso & mimosas ready for our arrival! 

we couldn't get over how wonderfully chic lisa & reed's (tiny) san francisco apt was. so so so great.

look at this awesome backyard! lisa's husband has taken a liking to the grass.

born in wonderful san francisco. 

girl talk. nail painting. baby swaying. 

we loaded up the babe and walked through lisa's picture perfect Mission Delores neighborhood to lunch

the amazing park in lisa & reed's neighborhood

a long lunch on the patio at tacolicious (and it was totally delicious)

the corn is a must-try. skip the black beans.

 a perfect day in the city

don't go aunt jenny...

congratulations, lisa & reed on your perfect bundle of love. 

like all things in life, you two have tackled this one relaxed, level headed and one day at a time. 

sture is one lucky little man. xx

i can't remember the last time i was THIS excited for ANYTHING.

i feel like we've been talking about this weekend for years and it's finally here. 

the next four days i'm with the girls celebrating all of our thirtieth birthdays in style.

san francisco + napa valley 

this is the first year since college that we haven't had any pre-planned trips... 

...no weddings, bachelorettes or showers, so this getaway is extra exciting. 

we decided to use our collective 30th birthdays as an excuse to splurge.

1. shmer is in town from australia! it's been two years since we've seen her. 

(colby's bachelorette party was the last time. not gonna lie, i'm already dreading sunday)

2. lisa just had a bebe & recently moved to san francisco, so we all get to meet & love on her new boy!

3. miraculously, nobody is pregnant! 

4. highlights from the fabulous four-day itinerary for seven:

jenny's bridal shower.

last saturday in san francisco's east bay, a group of ladies gathered to shower jenny with all kinds of domestic goodies. there was a signature cocktail, delicious food, floral decor and girly games. i think bridal showers are such a fun tradition and this one was clearly hosted by people who know and love jenny.
