Sometimes I hold off on writing about our day simply because I cannot think of a good title. Other times, I hold off because I am too lazy or too invested in the latest episode of the Bachelorette or New Jersey Housewives. Before I come to my senses, I am yet another week behind. Worse than that, is narrowing down the 400+ pictures that I take a week. And trying to come up with another way of saying, “on Monday we did this” and “on Tuesday, we did this”…
The best solution to this problem comes from my mom, who frequently reminds me that most people would rather see pictures than read a play by play of the day. I’d have to agree. Maybe that’s why the majority of my “reading material” consists of trash/gossip magazines. And, why I spend so much time “friendly stalking” the other blogs that are out there. Don’t get me wrong, I love to read short updates, but I what I enjoy even more is seeing what you’re wearing, what you’re kids are wearing, what your house looks like, and what you’re eating… Not to judge. But simply because I am a visual person.
So, for you all other “visual readers out there”, here is a week in pictures…
Stella and Dot jewelry party hosted by my friends Kristi and Lori.
A spend the night visit from Gran C and Hendley.
After a month of overcast skies and rain, the sun finally returned for the weekend!
The sun is not the only thing we are smiling about; this weekend marked the return of the Boucek’s (my sister and her family)! They will be living 4 miles from us for the next year while Bill completes an internship at Home Depot. On Sunday, we fired up the grill to celebrate their arrival!
Boss (9 months); Hendley (27 months); Mary Reese (20 months)
Big Daddy and the Grandkids
Even MR cant resist the Boss man’s cheeks!
A new summertime favorite; homemade chocolate chip cookies sandwiched between a scoop of Vanilla ice cream. Roll the edges of the icecream in chopped chocolate, toffee chips, and nuts.
Hendley came over on Monday for the first of many cousin play-dates.
Great pic, Great excuses! They are always worth the wait…………
Woman after my own heart, you are! Those are pretty much my exuses for not blogging in forever. And, those are some awesome pictures!
