End of Summer

I can’t believe we are mid-way through August already.  Only 18 days until a little someone turns two and only 12 days until we start to get Chris back.  Time just speeds by, and there’s a million things that I’m trying to cram in before September, which is why I’ve been such a slacker about posting.  This month started with World Breastfeeding Week, but hasn’t gotten any less busy since the festivities ended.

We’ve been baking pie:local peach pie,

monkeying around

at first birthday parties(Mr. T is one!),

taking babies and bunnies(and just about every stuffed animal in the house) for walks,

attending children’s concertswhich turned out to be a little bit scarier than expected,

having play dates with Nora’s new best friend, Miss E,in rather fashionable outfits,

supervising and taste-testing dessert-making at the Brotherhood,

and building the best second birthday present ever:a one-of-a-kind, upcycled play kitchen.

Basically, we’ve been going, going, going until we drop.It’s been busy in a good way and, from the looks of my to-do list for the next two weeks, we’ll be at this pace for awhile… As long as I don’t take to many naps with the kiddos, like I did one day this week when I sat down in the armchair with Mr. T and succeeded at putting both him and myself down for a nap!

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.
