Monkey

Now that it’s getting warm, we’ve been spending less and less time at the ECC, only going on truly dreary days.  Instead, we’ve been having fun exploring all of the playground equipment on island. 

Nora has turned into quite the little monkey, climbing on everything in sight — including up onto our dining room table!

Now, when I’m cooking, she wants to stand on a step stool at the kitchen counter and “see.”
(Which makes for an interesting cooking challenge since that’s all the counter space we have…)

The higher up she can get, the happier she is, and she practically does it all on her own.Sometimes she lets us help her climb down…and sometimes she doesn’t:

As you can see, I really have to stay on my toes with Miss Monkey Daredevil (and a newly crawling Mr. T)!  But I’m loving the challenge

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.
