My parents recently decided to thin out their closets and have a garage sale. They encouraged our household and also my brother Robert to contribute whatever we wanted, and to come over to help with the actual sale itself. So we all headed over to lend a hand. It ended up being a 100+ degree summer day, and we were all completely exhausted by the end. It was fun to do it together though, and Genevieve really got into being the little cashier helper. Overall, the sale was a big success!
Now that it's summer and extremely hot we went and got a new blow-up pool for the backyard. The kids have loved swimming in it and it's big enough that Ollie and I can get in too, which is very helpful in this heat!
So my friend Amanda and I spent one last night out together before she moved to Philadelphia. What a better way to spend it than opening night of Sex and the City 2. We got dressed up and enjoyed the show at Movie Tavern. The movie didn't disappoint! I thought it was wonderful! Afterwards we went and got dessert and enjoyed chatting. I already miss hanging out with my dear friend, but look forward to visiting her and seeing her when she returns to Texas!
Several mornings recently right after breakfast and before it was unbearably hot we walked over to our neighborhood park. The kids had fun and enjoyed climbing, swinging and just being outside.
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
