One of the best weekends of the year!! The last few days we’ve been down in Austin for the Derby. We had the most amazing time. We always do. I never can quite put weekends like these into words. K&T and J.S  are the most wonderful hosts and make us feel part of something incredibly special. The group of people that gather are sweet and silly, close-knit yet so very welcoming! We laughed at old stories and giggled about how much has changed over the years. Little Steely is so much bigger and Bridger wasn’t even around last year! (You can see last year’s adventures here and here). Missing this weekend already.

Tomorrow this girl comes home and our little one couldn’t be more excited to see his auntie!

This past weekend we headed down to Bainbridge, Ohio with our friends S&N. S’s parents have an amazing home there which we’ve always loved visiting. There’s something  to say about the serenity of a small Ohio town. It was wonderfully peaceful and the perfect place for Bridger’s first hike! Funny how much can change in a year – photos from our first trip to Seven Caves here. A little over a year later – we’re hiking with a little one and S&N have one on the way!

These two sure know how to make a girl happy. Love them.

This guy sure knows how to toss his stress out the window and just relax! Look at those eyes…not a worry in the world! We’ll be following his suit this weekend – lots of down time as a family celebrating his one month birthday!

To this handsome man- Happy Valentine’s Day! May you always know how madly in love with you I am…XO, C.

Last night we decided to head out for a little date night…nothing too fancy, just the two of us at one of our favorite restaurants. It was quiet and nice. Just what we needed before this world of ours gets turned upside-down!

On even the rainiest of days…bright flowers make everything better. Especially when they’re from your mom.

So glad another weekend is upon us! Big things happening around here- my last Saturday working (!!!) and our last weekend before the arrival home of my parents! Hope you all have wonderful and relaxing days ahead…

On this rainy Tuesday I can’t help but wish it was the weekend again…watching these two play in the snow was a highlight from this past weekend. He threw, she ran, we laughed. It was pretty fun.
