A little R and R...

We had such a great time on LI over the weekend visting and relaxing. It was so nice to get away for a few days...it's difficult for us to relax in the new house since we have endless to-do lists.
James Ryan especially had a great time, he quickly became very attached to this bus and slept and bathed with it all weekend:)

We went to the LI Children's Muesem, J.Ry really enjoyed the music room, the tot area, the bubble exhibit, adn the outdoor garden/water play area.

We spent Saturday afternoon in Oak Beach and James Ryan took his first boat ride (not in this boat, in the big boat) we thought he would be scared but he loved it, he kept saying Wow Woweee.







Spending some time at the beach made us really excited for our week at the beach in August, we can't wait.

Mom's little helper

The little guy helped me set up my studio today and he's been helping me find fun locations all over Moorestown.



love the drool:-)

Starting to feel like home...

We worked our butts of this weekend at the house, with a lot of help. THANK YOU Uncle Mark, Aunt Ree, Joe, Mom, Dad, & everyone else who pitched in, you guys are the best!
We demoed the garage and ripped out all of the overgrown shrubs. It was an amazing amount of work accomplished in one weekend.
Now we just need to figure out how we want to put the yard back together:)
We are starting to get a sense of a timeline for projects and it is exciting an overwhelming.
James Ryan LOVES to be outside, he wants to be out all.day.everyday. He still gets up before 6 most days and wants to go out immediately. I have been walking with him most mornings and it is great, we walk from about 7 to 8:30 or 9, running errands and exploring our town. I love it.

Isn't our boy getting so tall?
I will post some pics of the house soon.

Still here...

Just settling in to the new house and we don't have internet access yet.
Back to regular posting hopefully next week!

When did this happen?

I still remember the day she was born so clearly, skipping out of school to go visit her in the hospital. That gorgoeus baby girl is now....wow.....


Can this be? I feel old:)
C, I hope you had a great time at the dance little lady!

I tried to get a nice photo of

James Ry with his one of his favorite people...


Too bad I only had one willing model:-{ Our boy was in rare form yesterday so we had to make an early exit from our Memorial weekend BBQ.
Jim and I had a great time at John Vavas's wedding on Saturday, we got to see a lot of college friends that we don't wee often enough.
Tomorrow is a big day for us, we're closing on our new home at 8 am, not moving for a few weeks though.
Hope you all had a great weekend!

These are a few of my favorite things...

James Ryan loves shoes, Dora the Explorer, and airplanes this week.
Tonight we were picking up a few things at Target and he made (yes, my toddler is my boss)me buy him green boots and a Dora the Explorer airplane toy. I bet you he is going to want to wear these boots all.the.time, rain or shine:)


At least we found a fun mural wall that matches the crazy boots for a photo-op:}

On another note, we are getting excited to move into our new house, we're thinking about decorating, and I do me we {believe it or not Jim does have an opinion on these things} are leaning toward the black/white/&bright color schemes in Pottery Barn this season.



The Pottery Barn Catalog is always stunning, I don't know how they do it. We only have a few Pottery Barn pieces and I honestly don't think that their furniture is great quality for the amount that they charge...but I drool all over the catalog and try to replicate some of the looks creatively {and frugally}.

Published!

One of my images will be featured on the cover of the next edition of Tot Trends Magazine and look who the cover model is:


We're very excited about this!
