Thanksgiving Part Two

And very late, here are the second round of Thanksgiving photos, from our time with the Perks' side of the family in Plymouth. Fair warning, if you don't like adorable pictures of adorable babies, you may want to skip this post. We are a little camera happy with our niece Hannah : ) Lots of games, good food and a night listening to guitar music and singing by the fireplace. Cozy!

Long Beach Island : Part 2

Part 2 of the vacation photos. Makes me want to go back!

Long Beach Island : Part 1

Apologies for my absence this past week, I meant to update while on vacation but I was just too darn busy vacationing to get on my computer. We had a great time at our annual get together with Owen's extended family at LBI in New Jersey this past week. This year included lots of Kan Jam, cornhole, reading on the beach, holding baby Hannah, drinking Coronas, fishing, trying out surfing, reading Kindles, building large dragons in the sand, playing cards, eating fresh crabs and clams at happy hour, and long swims in the ocean. Part 2 will be coming tomorrow if you're interested, so you're not overwhelmed with photos (hah). Hope you all had a great week!

This and That : Life Lately

New porch plants : mint, basil, succulents and some large purple plant I got on clearance at Lowe's last year hah

Weekend Recap : Family Time

Another busy weekend for Owen and I that ran into Monday as well. It was spent with my family on Friday and Saturday in Vermont, playing cards on the boat and hitting the farmers market in the morning. Somehow I did not bring my camera so we will all just have to imagine it, but it was fun : ) We both worked the weekend nights at our restaurants, and then Sunday afternoon drove to Owen's parents house in New York. The drive was beautiful on a clear sunny day, passing through all the small towns and farms and seeing people out and about. In New York we spent lots of time hanging around my in-laws beautiful pond chatting and hitting golf balls, taking a quick hike, catching up with friends over a beer and playing with our niece Hannah. Yes, there is another overload of baby pictures comin' atcha. You know you love them. Overall a very fun and relaxing weekend. Hope your's was fab!

P.S. How about this sweatshirt around the waist look? Totally cool, right? Hah.

Weekend Recap : Bikes Rides & Warm Weather

Flip flop season has begun

This weekend was pretty busy but pretty great. I worked a shift at the restaurant every evening, and spent the days relaxing in the warm weather. There was a quick visit from my mom, yoga and brunch with some girlies, reading my book on the lawn, a little thrifting, and a bike ride to town this morning to grab coffee with Owen. Now I'm energized and ready to get to work on the shop today, mixed in with a little beach time this afternoon since its going to be 80 degrees : ) Happy Monday everyone!

A New Arrival

It's been a little quiet around the blog this week due to an adorable new addition to the family! Our brand new niece Hannah Jane was born on Monday night, and we are so excited. Owen and I drove down to New York Monday morning to wait with Owen's family for the call she had been delivered, and we could go see her. Nothing beats the new baby smell - I think I sniffed poor little Hannah's head about thirty times. Such a happy day : )
