grasping it

graham just took this with both hands and drank his water on his own. coolest thing ever. this cup is awesome. slowly he is turning into a toddler, so exciting!

it's a gloomy kind of day...so blue it is

it's chilly and gray, graham is having a great time making a wonderful mess. i am a bit stir crazy and am trying to be on the computer for a few minutes while the young man is momentarily occupied. i tried to find a few things that perked my interest on such a day as this. here goes...

we are all on the shore getting hit by waves of transition, right? always remember to take a deep breath and go with the flow.

i want these, don't know why. i want a pair or two tried and true pairs of jeans from Madewell, but these wide legs from Gap are calling me too. half the price i might add.

pretty, pretty, lots of colors. KristinaMarie

check these out. super bad ass. i saw them here lilmagoolie and you can find them here cartoonmonster

this is neato, i think it would be fun. if you were so inclined something like this would be fun to make too. fun for a rainy day, road-trip or just when you're in need of the giggles. this is something i saw here modernkiddo and you can find here assemblyoftext


have as good a day as you possibly can!!! everything is work, good days, a labor of love!

happy birthday huckleberry!!!

our trusty steed is 3 years old! here my phone captures huck's loyalty to the little boy. sweet, sweet, sweet.

take a dip!

homemade oreos!!! these look wonderful! one day we'll have to try those in THIS house.

it's also a great place to find tons of interior inspiration, but today, i stopped at the cookies.

feeling almost good again!

louisiana did not happen. graham and i were too sick to make it. we are planning to go friday to sunday this weekend instead. but, we managed to get some cute graham shots, as per usual. his daddy got him a swing!!! i will flickr the rest soon!

the worst houseguest!

the flu is here and it has been a rough week. first graham seemed to have something, then william. just when we thought we were covered, mama woke up weds. morning feeling horrible! the boys are on the road to recovery, but i am still no where near 100%. we are leaving in the morning for a three day trip to louisiana. graham is going to meet his other set of great grandparents! i am nervous about us going, but determined to make it. today should be full of rest and packing, let's hope graham is all aboard for the rest portion. i will leave you with images that will take you to a happier place...far from the flu.

pretty blouse from anthropologie, of course.

gorgeous hair on miss erin featherstone.

ain't this just a dandy picture of mr. paul newman? yup.

let's finish with a delicious creme brulee...nom, nom, nom.

hmmm...

i was brosing for me in the kid sections of j.crew. is that weird? they have super cute things, but no cheaper than the adult clothing. but, no harm in looking!

this guy is reading this book...

at this place...




on march 20th! i first heard about dallas clayton a couple weeks ago through our friends, the millers and what do you know! i hope we can make it, seems pretty cool.

it's beauty on the inside that counts

i couldn't love this place more. what great pieces, what a wonderful overall feel. yup, yup, i dig it's guts. i'm putting up pictures of our house on flickr. we have come so far in just 6 months! i really love how things are shaping up. over the next few years we will certainly collect and add to our lovely space. my husband is ready for a bit of tweaking inside, but his daydreaming is spent mostly in the yard. when graham learns to walk can we put cleats on his feet to aerate the yard?
