Our sweet pea...

I have to say this is the most fun age so far with Sophie! Every stage I have loved for different reasons, but now her little personality is so stinking cute!! Sometimes she just looks at us with these expressions that our priceless! I really am learning more about her everyday. She is definitely a girl who knows what she wants!

Dance...dance...dance!

I have to say I am really enjoying teaching Creative Movement. Both classes are great for so many reasons. My Monday night class is small with just 3 kids and my Wednesday class is a full house with 12!! We are just getting into ballet terms and demonstration and I am really proud of how well they are catching on! I will bring my camera next week and post pictures of sweet the tiny dancers:) We have our recital in May and I think is going to be so adorable to watch 15 3-5 year olds dancing their little hearts out!

RSV

Well I guess it was bound to happen eventually...Sophie is sick with a respiratory virus called RSV. I've read up on it and it is actually very common in young children. It brings about an awful cough and congestion. Sophie has never even had a cough so to hear her coughing like she is just pitiful. Jake and I feel so helpless not being able to make her better. So for now our strategy is even more hugs and kisses to nurse our baby back to health!

Be My Valentine...

Valentine's Day this year we wanted to be with our little one especially since she was sick all week. It was a fun morning watching her open her gifts from Daddy. I think you will agree the Godiva chocolate was her favorite! Jake is making a delicious dinner tonight and got me a beautiful card, chocolates, bath bubbles and a gift certificate for VS! I am so excited to get swimsuits for Jamaica! Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day with the ones you love.

Stop and smell the flowers...

Jake surprised me this week with flowers! What a sweet surprise! I have been somewhat stressed with working at the salon, registration for Creative Movement and my very most important job, being a stay at home Mommy! He definitely made my day or week for that matter. Jake has had quite a hectic schedule lately flying a couple times a week and some of them being night flights. All though our schedules may be busy right now we took moment to stop and smell the flowers.

Wedding bells...

With the wedding in just 3 months I need to get my butt in gear and start planning! The resort we chose, Beaches in Negril, Jamaica has an inclusive basic plan, but we may add in the reception after the ceremony.

I am so excited to go on vacation and even happier to finally make it official and join my fellow Campione Clan(Soph and Jake)! The wedding date is May 9th and without even planning it purposely it falls on Mother's Day! I think that makes everything about that day feel even more perfect!

I have my dress and they are working on alterations back home. I am hoping to get home in March for a much needed family visit and a dress fitting will work out perfectly. I have found Sophie's dress and can not wait to see her in it!! My bouquet is magenta flowers so I am hoping to get the flower pedals in her dress to match. Jake is going to wear a latte' colored suit. So there is your update for the Scarcelli/Campione wedding! Now back to planning!

The Proposal...

I am so excited to announce that Jake and I are engaged!! While we were home for the holidays Sophie woke me in the morning. She was handing me something, but anyone who knows me knows I am practically blind without my contacts! I didn't realize at first what it was. Then it hit me! The whole thing was so sweet and exactly what I hoped for. Jake followed her in and got down on his knee and the rest is history:) I was so glad Sophie was apart of it too!

We are starting the planning and as of now we are going to Beaches in Jamaica for a destination wedding! The wedding day is May 9, which happens to be Mother's Day too! We are thinking a small wedding with just our immediate family. Jake and I have never been on vacation together and Sophie hasn't either! We can't wait for a little fun in the sun!
