Film Friday: A Dinner Conversation

I was going through some videos from this summer and I found this clip from one of my dinner table conversations with Nora.  We were talking about being a grown up when I decided to get out the camera (hence the “I told you already!” when I asked her what she would do as a grown-up).  That day, we had also gone in for our first (and only) peek at Peach, so we ended up talking about the ultrasound and when Peach will be born.

It’s funny as I go through my videos how many of them are taken around our dining room table.  Partially that is due to the fact that I’m only shooting them with my DSLR which doesn’t have a huge memory card so I can’t shoot too much video without my computer on which I can empty the files.  But it’s also partially because sitting at the table, just the two of us, is when I have the best conversations with Nora.   I love how much she talks and the things she says; I’ve been fascinated for a long time with her language development and the little window it gives me into her mind, and I want to preserve that piece of her so she can someday see what she sounded like as a baby and toddler and preschooler. Most likely, videos like this are completely boring except to us and our parents…I know there’s only so much watching videos of other people’s kids talking that I can take, but I thought this was sort of funny at points, so here it is.  Just as a warning, she does accurately state what will happen after my tummy gets big, so if you’re squeamish about hearing the “V” word from a not-quite-three-year-old, don’t watch.  🙂

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.
