jon finished my anniversary planters! i so love how they turned out!! now we just need to get our two wooden rocking chairs added to the front porch :) little by little...

lucy hosted a princess tea party on the deck for "red minnie, pink minnie & baby" - eloise napped :)

seastar love :)

getting more & more used to this view, as lucy becomes the independent little person she so wants to be.

miss el belle's getting quite the personality. such a little lady!

and the most precious little caterpillar...

we had the best saturday night with our dear friends- the brewers. christina & i have been friends for nearly 2 decades, and jon dared brian to ask christina on a date during the 2003 summer. the rest is history :) we have 4 daughters between us, and had a successful night out [let's face it- it could have been a disaster] for a funky mama concert, beers & ice cream to the delight of lucy & kaitlyn :) lucy so loves her friends "kelsey & kaitwyn" ... has literally talked about them all morning.

christina & i had the same due date with kelsey & eloise- they're 12 days apart :) so much estrogen, so many bows...
