We had peonies for Ava’s first birthday, and I’ve made it a tradition to get them every year.
Here’s Ava on her first May 7th, 2003
Mark was 32, I was 27, in case you’re wondering.

May 7th
07 May 2012Our sweet Ava baby would be nine today. Lucy and I went out for peonies. (And a haircut.) They didn’t have the pink ones I wanted. They has some tiny dark pink ones, that weren’t open yet. So I went with the white. It’s fine, right?
I love the wrapping. It’s always my temptation to leave them in the paper.
Shall I photoshop them pink?

Running with a lollipop?!
Cady sent me these pics – isn’t she sweet! And – that is exactly the right pink peony. I’ll make sure to call in my order ahead next year (10!)
Tonight we are going out to dinner down the street – Ragazza. I want to try out their back patio. After, we’ll tear into these:
Kiera and Cole came over for breakfast. SK surprised us with these classic lovelies! ♥!
Flowers for Ava’s 8th Birthday
07 May 2011My happy tradition (and means of coping through May 7th) is to head over to Bloomers for some Kick-ass Peonies.
We had them for Ava’s first birthday, and pretty much every year since!
(Last year’s was especially nice because Lucy was there, and our family finally felt complete.)
Here’s this year’s pick, paired with a sweet princess cake from Schubert’s.

This sweet package came in the post:
Nana and Chief brought these gorgeous blooms to Holy Cross:
(If you ever want to go, the grave is all the way back, all the way to the right, in a place marked “holy angels”.)

UPDATE:
Omi sent this photo in. It’s a peony she planted in Sebastopol. (See her writing in the comment section below.) These flowers don’t really thrive in SF, it’s too cold during the summers. But the heat in the country is ideal! And, what a pretty color!
