Wishes
This is the building that, had I gotten married in the summer, I would have gotten married in. It is a beautiful, huge brick building with these huge windows down both sides, a massive fireplace at one side, and really high ceilings. It’s located on an old military base-turned-park. I had the fleeting thought to get married there anyway, even though we got married in December, but it’s right next to the water and is a chilly building even in the middle of the hottest summer day. So to be married there in the winter would have been so brutal! It’s much too large and open a building to hold…

Babies and Hot Air Balloons
The weather last week, you guys! It was SO nice. Asa and I had lots of fun playing outside; I really love that he loves to be outside. We go out and play on the blanket and stare at the sky and the leaves… and I try to ward off the bugs. I think when he gets big enough he’s definitely going to want to explore. I can’t wait for him to discover the different texture outside– grass, moss, dirt (messy, I know..). I have realized that while I really love hot weather, I only love it when it’s hot outside. If I’m in a car or indoors, I hate…

Penguins and Diamonds
We are almost finished moving! I’m so happy to be pretty much over with the hardest part; now all we have left is to transfer those last little bits and pieces, clean up the house a little, and be done! And then I have to organize everything to fit into the room we’ve moved into (in my parents’ house) so that we’re not tripping over each other! It’s a bit weird going from a whole house to one room, but at least we don’t have a ton of stuff yet. Our house was pretty small, and most of it is going into storage. I’m super excited to be living with…

Strange Confessions
So let me tell you a little secret. It’s one of those secrets I keep in my “things moms do to not shower” corner. It’s called “Put a Scarf on It!” Aka… I have gone like four days without showering, and I had to go out in public, so today scarves are my best friend. Because when there’s a scarf covering up my hair, nobody can see how bad it is. If it’s really bad, I put my hair up before I scarf it. But today it’s just at that line where you sort of need to shower at the roots, but the ends are actually the nice, supple, perfectly…

By the sea
We took Asa out for his first walk in his stroller ever, and had to snap pictures down by the water where my parents live. I absolutely love the location; they are close to a woodland park that also has a large field nearby, and it’s close to an inlet with a nice, curvy road that is perfect for long walks! I would love to live close to this area. It’s so beautiful! Of course, since my husband took the pictures, I had to make a face. I really need to have him snap my photos regularly; they always look better, and then I’ll get more comfortable posing for him.…
