Spring Runway

The other reason why I am excited for the change in seasons is an adorable collection of spring and summer clothes that’s waiting for Nora.

My mom and step-dad had fun before Christmas and this spring picking out a completely new wardrobe for Nora.  (I guess it pays to be the only grandchild and only girl in a family of mostly boys!)  Well, a few weeks ago when a giant box arrived on our doorstep, Nora tore into it immediately.And discovered it was stuffed full of 18-24 month and 2T clothes.  We are so thankful that my mom and step-dad wanted to send anything, let alone a toddler-sized box!The clothes inside were super cute, and Nora hasn’t gotten the memo yet that kids don’t like clothes, so there were plenty of “oohs” and “ahhs”.  She was so excited, I couldn’t stop myself from making a video…

It’s still pretty chilly here, and my little girl is still fitting in her 12-18 month clothes just fine, so we’ve mostly been sticking to her fall fashions.  Even if it seems silly to wear snowflakes and gingerbread at the end of March, I want to get as much use out of her current set before we pack it away until our next little girl is ready.  As I’m impatiently waiting for the chance to dress up Nora in her new clothes, I can’t help but think how strange that impatience is.  Here I am, the ponytail, no make-up, jeans and t-shirts wearing girl, and I’m ridiculously excited about little girl clothes.  Dresses, ruffles, pink, flowers, and lace included.  That’s something I never would have expected…which, I guess, just goes to show how cute the clothes are.

Please ignore the unmade bed.

They really, really are.So cute, in fact, it even makes nose-picking look loveable.

    I want to wear colorful striped leggings too! (tho’ I might look a bit more crazy than cute…). Like the new blog layout. 🙂

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.
