I can't believe it. July is right around the corner. It's my hubby's last week off before he starts his summer classes, so I'm taking a bitty blog break. Back soon.

our neck of the woods
The weather has been not so hot the last couple of days, so in the evening we head out for a walk. We used to take walks everynight, but have gotten out of the habit. I thought I'd take some photos of our neighborhood. Our section of the hood is only about 5 streets […]
spaces
I've been meaning to post my worktable that Ryan built for me so here it is… It's great to have all my sewing stuff in one place AND I can leave it messy without having to walk by it every two seconds- which is how it was when it my stuff was in the dining […]
big sister
Yesterday we took Keely out to her first sit-down and be waited on restaurant. It was a local place we'd never been to. Keely was quite excited to go and to be there. We told her the baby news while waiting for our meal. Told her that she was going to be a big sister […]
the strip
We decided to head out to the oceanfront/tourist land/"the strip" this weekend. We hadn't been out there in years. The city puts on a pretty good show for the out-of-towners…filling the beach with fresh sand, making the beach bigger than it would naturally be and filling the shore with pretty umbrellas. It's quite picturesque. They […]
about beans
We got our first real batch of greenbeans from the garden this weekend! Keely takes her job of farmer seriously, as you can see by her outfit.The perfect gardening shoes, no? We ate all the beans for dinner and are happily awaiting our next basket full. Tomatoes and cucumbers are on the way too. Keely […]
nothing really
Since we've rearranged our living room there's been an empty space in one corner. I decided to put our old outdoor table there and currently it is holding Keely's dollhouse. Each evening she sits up there and plays with her dollhouse for a bit. I love to watch her. Little sidenote: She is now calling […]
unveiling and tall ships
So. Here is our finished screened-in porch! Completely built by Ryan. By himself. All alone and he'd never built anything like this before. He has no construction training either. He was an English major for flip's sake. The porch blends with the outside of the house beautifully. The roof matches our existing one and well, […]
warm weather =
flying around the backyard. a garden that's gone wild. going inside to read and cool off. more flowers in the yard than we've ever had before. the beginnings of teeny freckles across Keely's nose. and we just might have to consider inflating that pool this weekend. It is going to be hot. Happy Friday.
questions AND answers
The questions. from Lera – How far along are you? (Yes, that does count as a question.) I'm four months now and tomorrow, after much delaying, I'm gettting the pessary removed (help!). from Alicia H – How do you go thrifting with a "spirited child"? Heh. Well, honestly for the first 2-ish years of Keely's […]
