catch up

During the last week in July I got to go to California and play with my family. It was so much fun and I got to do all of my favorite things like...


eat ice cream

take naps on the beach

 

visit kate
sleep in (past 8)
snuggle with Sam and Olivia every day



Coming home was hard and different this time. Normally I can go back to reality and accept my life as it is but not this time. I wanted my sisters and I needed my Sam and Liv. It took me a good 48 hours of random crying fits to accept that we just don't live by each other anymore. At least we live in the same country. At least I get to talk to them every day.

Summer is flying by and I have so much more to do.
I need more....

barbeques
picnics
swimming
lakes
late nights with friends
vacations
panzanella
lemonade
humming birds at my window
farmers market mornings
ideas for all the basil

Here are a few photos from the past little while in my life. I'll try to blog more often so we can stay current!

 The Boy was my bunko partner and we totally won. Thanks Boy! Nobody believes me but I actually love playing and I'm so glad my mom lets me join her sometimes. Thanks Mom!!

I baked a few things...
snickerdoodles

blondies


We went to the zoo and saw the amazing polar bear. He is so special.
