Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Giannini's house tonight.  The night ended with an argument on which kind of sharp cheese tasted better with the strong homemade wine.......provolone or swiss?  I don't really think this huge block of cheese cared either way! hahaha

JoegO's Tiny Treasure Chest.  

My brother Joe is Mr. handy man now in my house.....he is currently fixing the ceiling in our kitchen where some of the paint had chipped off from a leak.  With half the kitchen blocked off with plastic, the rabbit and the cat are extremely confused....the two just sit and stare.  

My brothers girlfriend, Diana, is a hair stylist/assistant manager at a brand new salon that just opened up this week in Chicago called FM Hair Studio!  The owner hired me to take pictures of the studio for their website.  Joe got a hair cut while we were there, and I got a much needed trim....Diana is fabulous!  The studio is beautiful and both Diana and the owner are extremely talented!  You all should schedule an appointment!  http://www.fmhairstudio.com/ 

There are two magnolia trees in my front yard that are in full bloom only for a couple of days before the flowers rapidly start flying off the tree.  (and when I mean a few days it really is only a few days!)  My mom really wanted me to take pictures of the trees before the flowers started to disappear.  Unfortunately, I didn't get out there soon enough so I had to get creative; most of the petals from the flowers had already fallen.  I promise I'll get the flowers in full bloom next year mom!!!

This is my closest family friend, Jenni Haupers, standing with models wearing the outfits that she had designed and crafted herself!  She is attending Harper College for fashion and design, and last night was the end of the year fashion show for all of the students to display the clothing that they have worked on all semester.  The students had to draw inspirations from the 20's and 30's era.  As you can see she is an extremely talented artist and designer and everyone was highly impressed with her creations!  Each outfit was unique, classic and fashionable.....and I absolutely loved all of them!  I can't wait to see what she does in the future!
