from the weekend
Just a few photos from the weekend to share on this Monday.
Special treat: a trip to a 50's diner in the middle of a very long weekend without Daddy.
My girl. In my favorite dress on her. Wishing her face were more in focus, but it was pretty dark out when I took it. Wondering how I got so lucky to be the mama of this amazing child.
Other bits from my thoughts tonight:
~We've been doing some packing and lots and lots of looking at houses, so that's been occupying much of our time and energies. Looking for a rental can be kind of depressing, especially when you want to live here, which is of course not an option as it's some thousands of miles from here.
~In seven days I will be 30 years old! My husband, who turned 40 in December, thinks it's the teeniest bit amusing that I'm getting all excited about this. But I am. :)
~We had a pretty fantastic sunset tonight. I'll leave you with some photos of that.
Beautiful photos...I know what you mean when you say "Long weekend without Daddy". Cheers to you and your family.

Beautiful!
I'm starting to do the big 'pitch' for our up coming move. I want to get our possessions down to 100 things.
Hmmmmmmm, wish me luck...Xxx

Those bar stools... I adore them! And what do you mean living in that gorgeous cape isn't an option?! Just think of the fun we'd have as neighbors :)
Sorry you were alone with the little ones this weekend. Glad you made it through okay. They look like they had a marvelous time!

My hubby is 10 years older than me too! We never notice the difference, unless he asks me something like "do you remember watching Green Acres as a kid?" Then we laugh because I wasn't even born yet ;o)
