New Dierbergs
Saint Louis readers: go check out the new Dierbergs in Des Peres! It's AWESOME. 3 levels of Dierbergs wonderfulness. Brand new shopping carts! Lots of delicious options for a quick lunch or dinner. We went with friends and enjoyed a tasty lunch in the 3rd level Mezz. So fun!

Girls Night(s)
I've been a lucky girl lately to go out with so many of my girls! We had so much fun on my first girl's night that I suggested we do the same thing on my next night. Happy hour at the Drunken Fish in the Central West End, cruise through Chase Park Plaza and make an attempt at Eau Bistro, and end the night with dessert. Love girl's night!!
Fun times with Theresa and Jamie. And I mean SUPER FUN. |
Out with my mom's group girls for the first time without kiddos. Amazing! |
Enjoying gourmet chocolates at Bissingers. One benefit of going out with non-overlapping groups is that you can wear the exact same outfit. It think of it as my CWE uniform. |

Grammy and Riley visit!
Grammy and Riley come for a quick visit over the weekend and it was EPIC.
We went to Yo My Goodness. |
We went to the pool. |
We had a handstand contest. |
We watched Fresh Beats. |
Here's a close-up of mine. LOVE IT! |
Transportation Museum
Last week we had a super fun playdate with big Jake and his beautiful mom Megan. We had never been, but we had a Groupon (holla) and wanted to check it out. It was unbelievably cool and fun. Like, have your birthday party there fun. Like, buy more Groupons fun. There was so much stuff to do and the kids explored a lot on their own. Anytime you need a break you can hop on the mini train and take a ride! Also, I love places where bringing your own lunch is encouraged.
Jake and Violet spent an hour playing in the Creation Station. There was so much cool stuff to play with. P.S. I think Violet is on her knees here - Jake is bigger than her but not THAT MUCH. |
We got to explore lots of trains. She was nervous about this one because it looks like it's coming right at you! |
Megan helped the kids ring the bell. |
We took a trolley ride. |
Sweet girl. |
Calling daddy to tell him how much fun we were having. |
Puppet show! |
A sign my kid is growing up: she played by herself for several minutes more than 10 feet away from me. |
Getting ready for the mini choo-choo! |
WAY more excited than she looks here. |
She LOVED it! |
We took this picture for you, daddy. |
Whoa, big choo choo! |
Babe Day
If you've been around the Tenholders for a few years then you know about Nate Day and Babe Day. They are little holidays we plan for each other once a year.
Last week was Babe Day! It started with me arriving home at the appointed time of 11:15 to receive my first assignment. Nate took a half day so I could spend the afternoon doing Babe Day things!
Assignment #2: A one hour massage! I didn't take any pictures of this for obvious reasons. However, I can tell you that it was GREAT!
Babe Day continued as he made my favorite dinner (orange chicken bowl) and then took his girls to Yo My Goodness for dessert. It was a great day and I definitely felt very special and loved. To say I am blessed to have met Nathan Tenholder almost 10 years ago on a Ryle Hall night-monitoring shift is an understatement. He treats me like his queen and it's days like this that help me remember how grateful I am that he picked a gal like me for forever & always.

Assignment envelopes. Inside were maps (duh!) and more specific instructions. |
Assignment #1: Lunch with my work wife! We had a great lunch at Buffalo Brewing and it felt luxurious to go out to lunch with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon! |
Assignment #2: A one hour massage! I didn't take any pictures of this for obvious reasons. However, I can tell you that it was GREAT!
Assignment #3: Time at the pool with a new book from the library. He knows me well :-) |

Family time
Sea Lions
Look! |
She insists on bringing jackets if we are going to the zoo. She knows it's cold when we go see the penguins! |

Family Worship Night
Pool party
Nate's family hosted a graduation party over the weekend. We don't normally go to St.Peters, but we were happy to make the drive to see family and especially since it was a pool party! We all had a great time.
Enjoying a tropical drink (water) with fancy straws |
Violet made a big impression on her great-grandparents. She was particularly cute! |
Pool party! |
Babies
Nora and Margaret have spent Mondays with us since last December. This Monday was my last official day to have them since they will be spending work days from now on with their Grandma. Violet and I love them so much and we hope to see them often so we can see how much they are growing and changing. They are such sweet girls and I loved getting to discover their personalities!
Happy girls! |
Sweet and laid-back Margaret is always ready to smile |
Fiesty and silly Nora loves to laugh |
Oh, Nor-do, how I love you! |
Margaret Ann is so snuggly! |
