and the winner of the huckleberry coffee giveaway is…MLD (which is my mama!) who said that she really admires wordsmiths. random.org picked #4 out of my drawing of 8 entries. thanks for commenting and i’ll have another giveaway next month (my birthday month!).

 

no links this week. just a large smattering of photos of cute babies (and one handsome man) that i took with my iphone.

 

we had a wonderful weekend cleaning up the backyard, hanging out with the ladies and kids, having a photoshoot, napping, introducing ramona to the pool, breakfasting at crema, lunching at hops and pie, and watching mad men.

what were you up to?

 

as always, click on photo if interested in more information.

 

 

hello to all new readers that may have found us via marvelous kiddo! how was your weekend?

this weekend was a quiet one for us. sunday jp had the day off so we had a slow morning: ramona and i sat in the hallway, ate cheerios, and drank coffee while jp fixed us some asparagus/brussel sprout/green onion/potato skillet concoction. yum. he snapped some photos on his phone of bean and i cuddling.

tonight jp and i are going out for our first (gasp!) date night out since little bean was born. i bought an outfit at buffalo exchange yesterday especially for this momentous occasion. if you think of it, send good sleeping vibes ramona’s way. if she could sleep the whole time — or at least a solid 4 or 5 hours — that would be ideal for this sorta-worried mama and for diri and dido (jp’s parents) who are watching her.
