This past weekend was lovely. Finally not too hot so one could actually enjoy being outdoors. We invited our good friends over on Saturday and spent the whole day chatting and eating, it was perfect. I love the way life just comes full circle sometimes in such a perfect way. The wife of the couple was my friend in Russia since I was...
hat - free people, shirt - h&m, jeans - ae, boots - seychelles So this shirt is kind of corny (see what I did there??) but it was one of those impulse purchases that you make when you don't like what you're currently wearing, can't commit to anything expensive and it seems to do the trick.

Papa bear and I talk a lot about the strange nature of becoming a family. About the way everything changes, somehow stays the same and feels as if it were always this way. I find it nearly impossible these days to wrap my mind around the fact that Birdie wasn't always with us. It's almost strange to look at old photos and notice...
Last weekend was somewhat of a bi-state (can you say that??) weekend. We enjoyed Friday and Saturday at home in Virginia and headed into the city on Sunday. It was a hot one too, our poor AC units can barely keep up! We actually skipped our normal farmer's market picnic for that reason too, by the time we picked up everything we needed...
