Time Flies

Oh, yes it does.  Especially when you’re having fun…and we’ve been having plenty of fun,that’s for sure.  In the last few days, we’ve taken a million pictures of pumpkinsand farmsand lots and lots of walking.

We’ve visited fieldsfor doggy exerciseand dreaming about the future.We’ve walked along the beachand saw a whole family of seals.We’ve experienced toddler temper-tantrums.We’ve eaten our fill of chowder,and decadent desserts,and delicious home-made meals.And we’ve watched our little girl go from a crawling babe to a teetering toddler to a master walker.

And there was joy in every moment of it.

    So much fun! And I noticed your carrier, it looks like a Beco? I am trying to pick one for the baby.

      Yep, it’s a Beco Butterfly. I love it – so comfortable. I even used it a few times with the 3 yr old I watched over the summer (on my back) and it felt like nothing. We also use a Zolo Wear ring sling a lot, that’s my preference for the little ones…I didn’t really start here in the Beco until she was 5 months old. I think the sling is easier for quick ins and outs.

      It’s a banana chocolate nutterbutter. Peanut butter cookies with banana cream (he doesn’t share my aversion to buying bananas) and chocolate filling. It was good.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
