  6. Hi honey! Yup, I'm up late again. This should stop in a day or two. Your dessert is lovely. I'll try to make it and let you know how I manage! Cielo sure put on an amazing Dessert Carnival. I'm SO FULL!!! Bindi, was that an amazing idea, or what?

    I just realized a few minutes ago that I thought all day Thursday it was Friday. Have you ever had the sort of day?! Yikes. So today isn't Saturday. Hummmmmmmm. I'm going to have to plan my day differently!

    I hope you and Serene are doing well. How are you adjusting to your new home? I hope the stress level has gone down a bit.

    Oh, by the way, when's your birthday and also Serene's. I want to mark everyone's birthday on my calendar so I can start planning! Gig's is next!

    Love ya honey. Hope you have a beautiful Friday. (It is Friday, right?)

    XO

  8. Bindi, I just saw your post to Kylie. It's absolutely beautiful. The art reminds me so much of me and my sisters. What a wonderful birthday wish. I love you dear friend. I think this was a very special birthday for Kylie. She's obviously surrounded by so much love.

  9. Good Lord! It's me again. I just discovered it isn't Friday,it's Thursday! How did I get so screwed up? I think Kylie's birthday threw me off because of the time difference. Okay, I now know it's Thursday.

    Happy Thursday Bindi!!!

  20. Bindi, Hi baby. I just saw the news on CNN and know Arkansas is being hit hard with tornadoes, particularly Little Rock. I'm very worried about you and Cecile. I know you probably won't get this for awhile, but I want you to know I love you and I'm thinking about you and your family. Please stay safe and know that your blogging family will be waiting to hear from you. I know I'm not supposed to call in these sorts of storm situations, so I won't, but if I don't hear from you in 48 hours, I'll call.

    I love you, please be careful.
    Suze XO

  29. Hi Bindi! I'm glad the worst of the storms didn't hit your area. I read your comment on Suzanne's blog--see, news travels like lightning around here!!!

    By the way, I forgot to comment on how much I love the pics of Serene all dressed up by herself to go out. Someday I'll post the pics of my little one after she put on the ENTIRE contents of her dress-up box in preparation to go to the market with me! Oh, these little girls are funny ones, aren't they?
