possibly the busiest week of summer we've ever had, and i am severely lacking in the sleep department, but every single moment has been worth these lifelong memories we've made! 

holy trinity 1st graders take on theatre in the park! lucy's sweet friends and their awesome parents made her feel like a straight-up celebrity!

something very special about community coming together for the arts-

lucy & ms pam- hate how blurry it turned out, but never will forget how special she made lucy feel including her while designing & sewing lucy's very first musical theatre costume!

a beautiful, vibrant production-

& in the meantime, time with friends, dance watch weeks, special end-of-summer lunch dates & sleeping the morning away after staying up half the night-

lucy was so fascinated working with ms pam to design her costume that after seeing it come to life, her career aspirations shifted from barista to fashion designer. a few weeks ago, she handed gmom 4 sketches of outfits for she & eloise- and oh my goodness- gmom pulled through & solidified lucy's desire to learn to sew. this was a magical experience for the girls! i love lucy's inner self-talk presenting itself to the world here :)

& we are over the moon to have met our newest family addition- our first niece and the girls' first girl cousin. miss madden isabelle was born on august 3rd, and needless to say, we are all smitten <3
