Serena & Lily

I just love Serena & Lily! Even though I've only purchased one thing from them (the glider in Calder's Nursery in the image below), every time I receive their catalog in the mail I treat it like a magazine. I never toss it in the recycling bin like I do so many other catalogs. This one is special. It makes me wanna curl up on the couch and swoon over every picture. I mean seriously, talk about wanting to pin every item.

And I adore these pendants. They would definitely make a room!

Happy Father's Day

 
Happy 1st Father's Day to one amazing dad!! Bruner, you really are such a wonderful father, and it's been SO much fun to watch you with Calder. You're such a helpful, patient, loving and funny dad! Here's to your special day and many, many more to come!

There is no such thing as too much cuddle time!

or play time!

 And here's to our amazing father's too! We wouldn't be here without you two.

 Calder and I are so very blessed to have you. What would we do without you??

Wednesday Words of Wisdom

Calder's First Beach Trip

We had SO much fun at the beach. 7 full days of sun (and clouds) + sand = absolute bliss. The biggest decisions we had to make were where to eat dinner, whether we should go to the pool or the beach, or if Calder needed another round of sunscreen. It doesn't get any better...

 

my bathing beauty...

Jordan, one of my very best friends from college, just happened to be staying ONE mile away with her 5 month old, John Taylor. What PERFECT timing!!! And pretty funny how both babies are obsessed with their WubbaNubs. (we do NOT leave home without Calder's giraffe. Yes, it is ugly, but it does the trick.)

 They were so adorable together, and I think Calder had a little crush.

We celebrated a 5 month birthday by eating our toes! Our favorite thing to do as of late.

 

Calder loves Grandaddy. They have such a sweet relationship.


Bruner joined us Wednesday through Saturday. So fun to have him with us...

This child doesn't get ANY attention...

What a blast. Thanks SuSu and Grandaddy for such a wonderful trip! I'm busy today catching up with work, but looking through these pics helps me escape reality for a little while longer :)

summer FUN

Such a fun play date at our house today. Aren't these babies just the cutest!??

We're off to the beach tomorrow for an entire week with my parents! CANNOT wait for a relaxed vacation away from my computer screen and in the sand!
