Speaking of love…Andrew came home! Woohoo! Andrew went to South Africa for 10 days and came home last week. His flight landed in time for lunch, so the three of us celebrated his homecoming with lunch on the patio. So happy to have him home!
Later that night, I was taking the trash out and as I walked back to the house, I saw this…
When we showed up in her class, not only did they have breakfast and a reader’s theater prepared for us, but they had the most wonderful Mother’s Day presents, artwork and such waiting for us as well. This stuff melted my heart.
Speaking of girls I love…
The American Girl dolls join us too :).
Then on Saturday, we hosted Sean & Catherine’s baby shower for family and friends. It was such a good time and the weather was amazing! I didn’t take many pics because I was doing the hosting thing, but here are a few…
They’re wild, they’re crazy, they’re messy, they’re fun, they’re sweet, they’re silly, they’re special, they’re MINE! I couldn’t love these three more!
And then on Monday morning, I went upstairs, woke them up, went to grab a load of laundry and came back to this…
…is it summer yet?
After school, the big kids asked if we could swim before Kensington had to leave for dance. Sure! Why not?!
Ramona says
What a fun weekend you guys had! Your outfits in this entire post are so chic! I think you may have convinced me to finally get a white jean jacket. 🙂
Alaleh Sadri says
I'm sure you saw this question coming…what color nail polish in the shower pics?! :))
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I love the AG dolls all lined up in their sleeping bags, too! haha! And I bet Ashby brings so much laughter into your house! I love her little personality that shines through in pictures!

My two used to do the same sleepover in our room in Friday night…and that AG sleepover?!?? Enjoy it…you have no idea how hard it is when you have to pack those dolls up! It was like we packed up Mary Dalton's childhood! The days are long, but the years are short…
Maggie Kosciolek says
So fun!!! What is the lip color you're wearing on Mother's Day? It's stunning!
Mix and Match Mama says
I read about it in Instyle and bought it after the reviews! It's Chanel's lip color in Roman. 🙂
Aubrey says
Your kids sleeping on the floor…ha! Is it summer yet indeed. Our summer officially starts at 3:45 today! We'll be over to your house to swim by 7:45. 😉
