Purdy!

The other night... We went to an auction for the law school. It was a semi formal affair and it was so frustrating to find something to wear that had a sleeve!! So i went with a high waisted skirt and a wild vintage blouse.

These were the only pictures i remembered to take on the way home! lame.

NC Beach and Aquarium

Today I found something in NC that i love!!!!



Today was an awesome day at the beach. We packed up the cooler and had apicnic on the sand. We collected a whole ziploc bag of cool shells. Addison was really into picking up shells and loved the whole process of finding them and showing each one to me or ryan. The beaches here are beautiful and very different from California beaches (which are also beautiful). We also went to a really cool aquarium because Addie has developed a new love of fish. She was going nuts for the jellyfish and the sharks. I can't wait to take her to Sea world next time we are in California.

I still can't believe i forgot my camera, so these are from the camera phone and no the greatest quality! (thank goodness for camera phones)

I was actually impressed with how well this came out on my camera phone.

I came upon this website today and fell in love! The style is adorable and there are some things on here that i just HAVE to have!

Ode to Bridget

Bridget was the best dog in the whole world. She was so kind and gentle, especially with all the little kids. She reminded me of the dog from peter pan, Nana. I could leave Addie in the backyard with bridge and she would just stay by her side. One of Addie's first words was Bridget and every time she saw any animal be it bird, fish or cat or dog she would call them Bridget. We loved her so much and she has been around forever. I still remember the first day we brought her home from Tony and Therese's old house.
I loved coming through that gate in backyard and being greeted by that wagging tail and big brown eyes and spotted tongue and all those kisses.I will miss that sweet little girl. I am so glad my mom was by her side till the very end, loving her. It breaks my heart that I will never see her again. She was family! I am glad she is not in pain anymore, it was so hard to see her get old and sick. I will miss that sweet little girl!

xoxo Bridgey, We love you!

the bag lady!

Addie loves to dress up. I found her looking like a bag lady the other day! I love this picture though.
