The lovely hat is by peas&carrots, of course :)  More to come!

We’re back from our weekend in Chicago - so sorry I have neglected the blog lately!  We took a million pictures, hit IKEA, ate yummy food, and laid out by the pool.  A pretty perfect weekend in my book :)  Here’s some of the shots we took over the course of the weekend…

 

First up, we went to the fabulous IKEA, where we found some wonderful glass storage (I was getting tired of hitting up all my friend for their old pasta sauce jars, and finding non-plastic storage is tough!)  Yay for these awesome glass pitchers Matt scored -I’m already using them for our tea & juice and tell I’m going to love them.

 

 

we tried our hand at self-portraits, and miserably failed.  however, the good news is, if you put these 2 together, we collectively have a whole picture of each of us.  :) 

 

I love how Matt looks the exact same in every frame, yet I am making the goofiest faces.  I couldn’t keep a smile normally for the life of me!

 

We had the YUMMIEST dinner on Friday night at Shaw’s Crab House.  We ate outside at the Oyster bar, and oh my goodness….the Coconut Shrimp w/ Orange Marmelade sauce for dipping…..ohhhhh….melt in your mouth!  Goodness!  They were SO good.  Hands down some of the best shrimp I’ve had.  And Matt said the sushi was delish - he could tell it was very fresh and he didn’t leave a speck on his plate :)  If you are in the Chicago area, you’ve got to pay them a visit!

A few more…

Playing around in the restaurant bathrooms (cause you can’t do that when you have your kid with you)

I told Matt he looks scary here…some lady walked up to use the Ladies’s room right as I was taking this.  She probably thought we were two young newlyweds after too many drinks

 

I am such a big dork.

 

Notice the oxymoron?

 

Matt took this one…I think he should come shooting with me, don’t you think? 

 

Last but not least, my smokin hot hubby :)

just a little of what i’ve been up to the last month or so…a hodgepodge of client images that I never got around to showcasing & a couple personals:

 

and a teeny sneak peek into the album I am designing for C for her bday….so excited to order this tonight! 35 pages of lil Charlotte-goodness

from  1 year - 2 years old…

{back cover}

a few of the inside spreads:

 

 

and the first page…can you believe how much she has changed in 1 year?  (this was taken last year on her bday)

now for a lil bit of news - i will be out of town Thursday evening - Saturday evening.  Any emails received during that time will be returned on Monday morning.  Matt & I are going to Chicago for a few days for a much needed time away.  Thanks for understanding, and have a great Fourth!

that’s how i felt after a weekend of no very little working :)  i told myself i wouldn’t work at all this weekend, and i somewhat kept my word.  aside from a few hours of editing during a naptime and some quick phone calls,  i pretty  much took the weekend off from anything work-related, and very much enjoyed some q-time with the fam.  now i’m just patiently waiting counting down the days until my wknd getaway with the hubby this thur-sat!  altho i will most assuredly be editing all the way to chicago & back, not to worry

a couple snapshots from my bday wknd…nothing fancy - had to throw these up here quick & its late.  warning - there’s quite a few…

 

how we started the wknd:

oh- and honey, just because you beat me this time, doesn’t mean i won’t come back & kick your butt next time!  you know i am the queen of wii bowling!

 

one of the few shots of me from this wknd (i really need to get out from behind the camera!).  let me just preface this by saying that we did not put ANY thought into what we were wearing this night (obviously) and to please,  do what i say, no as i do! because we apparently could not have picked worse shirts to wear for a picture together!  LOL!

 

then somebody decided to go skinny dipping in Ma-ma’s pool…guess we’ll remember her suit next time

 

saturday we took C to SF park to swim and had so much fun.  sunday we celebrated with more family…

as you can see, i was really excited to get my bissell vacuum.  wow, i must be getting old.  seriously tho, i was super excited.  thanks, mom

 

last but not least…some super cute shots of C & her bestest friend (who happens to be her cousin & my bestest friend’s son)

i realize it looks like he’s biting her, but rest assured, there was no biting going on - only hugging…well, and…………….

don’t you just love it?  i love how her eyes are closed, and his little hand is touching hers.  so stinkin sweet!

i think that’s enough snapshots from my bday wknd :)  the next few days are a little crazy, but i hope to be back to my regular blog posting of every couple days now.  thanks for all the bday wishes!
