I'm so excited!

Excited about what?

* Going to a baby shower today

* Getting my hair done tomorrow!

* Starting the class in less than a month

* James is taking the class with me!!

* Meeting the new baby in only 12 weeks!!!

I packed a suitcase for the baby already! It has adorable onesies and two options for the coming home outfit. Little socks and bonnets. Some leg warmers. Cuuuuuute! By the way, I'm in love with this.

Getting ready......

Hair.

Remember this post? Well, I'm doing it. Okay, not all the way, but sort of. Here's the inspiration picture:

(I've had this saved in a folder for a long time, so long that I don't remember the source. If you know it let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.)

So, Lucy is going to work her magic on Sunday while Beatrice spends some time out of my hair hanging out with her Papa and Moma and aunts and uncles.

Sketchbook Series: White Paper and Red Thread

This was so much fun! I think I'll sew on paper more...

Faces

I thought it would be fun to show a series of pictures of James ranging from the year we met to the present.

I love that he challenges and inspires me creatively. And I love that our heads can connect over our passions even though our passions are not always in the same realm. I love how he treats me and the way he smiles when we are together. I love that his playful side has come out more and more through the years we've been together!

When I was Emma's age, this is what my imaginary life looked like and this is why I liked to draw...

Family Fun in July

We've been out and about this month, despite the heat and car troubles! Here are some pictures of the fun we've had!

This one is from when we went to the gallery tour our town does every first Friday of the month in the Art District. This really is the best picture of all the ones we took! Beatrice is sneezing.

We've been going to the park a lot. Pretty much all the time...

Oh, and the other night Jake and Lucy and our friend Noel came over for dinner. We had a nice time catching up and afterwords went to the park just before a huge thunderstorm hit. (I love that part right before the storm, all dark and cool.) Anyway, the really nice part was that Lucy made the dinner. It was a DE-LISH chickpea curry. I'll have to get the recipe to share with you. So good. And vegan. And cupcakes, vegan ones. Mmmmm.

Welcome to the Workin' Week: Office Apparel

I'm so looking forward to getting back into the office setting and I want just the right wardrobe. Business casual, but modern, a little edgy, sophisticated and young. Over the next few weeks, I'll share with you some outfits I would love to have! This one comes from Anthropologie.
