uncle

this photo just about breaks my heart.
i adore it.... thom carrying lucy like this across the yard
look how much she loves it ...

{we were taking some family photos - thats why he's dressed up!}

country home

thom's parents have the type of home where everyone is welcome; where you can go pick raspberries in the backyard for your cerial in the morning, and flowers for setting the table in the evening. it is the kind of home where shared meals last all day long, with everyone sitting around the table on the big wooden porch.

this weekend we:

celebrated dad's birthday,
went for a drive on the dirt roads through canola fields to see the housebarns,
bathed lucy in a tupperware tub on the porch,
went to church in the morning,
napped and drank beer in the afternoon,
watched a lightning storm with all the lights off,
and ate orzo salad and steak off the barbecue,
and tried our best survive the heat.


it was the most wonderful...

lucy & rocco

remember lucy?
and her mumma joanna?
Joanna's sister kelly had a baby a few weeks ago {the mummas are sisters who were pregnant together! how wonderful, yes?!}
we threw a joint shower for this weekend at a beatuful art center outside the city. {where this magical wedding took place last year}.

it went off without a hitch!

happy monday!
