TJ took T to a birthday party yesterday - her first one where we don't know the parents. It seems like a sort of milestone. She had a great time, of course. While they were gone, BabyM and I headed over to our local outdoor mall to walk and shop. I wanted to find some cute outfits for the girls to wear for our family photos next week.

I like having coordinating outfits for family photo shoots - not totally matching, but I like the girls to match, and TJ and I will both wear black shirts and jeans. I found a nice black shirt at Eddie Bauer, so I can see the end of the nursing-wear tunnel, finally. BabyM eats a lot less frequently than she used to, so I can try to wear some normal shirts again.

So it's now mine, and will also make an appearance in our photo shoot. I'm excited because the aqua matches the cute shirt I bought for T, so we'll be matching too!
Today TJ made us waffles for breakfast, I had some crafting time, he took a motorcycle ride, the girls napped at the same time for a whole hour, and we had a picnic in the park with some good friends.
This weekend really felt like an unexpected gift. (Insert sigh of contentment here.)
So glad that spring has arrived for you and your family got some time together to enjoy it. I am looking forward to seeing your family photos. We are long overdue for a proper professional session!
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures are the best. Enjoy your time with the kids now - soon they'll be big (10 & 12) like mine.... and the family time is just as good but so different!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing weekend! I'm very jealous of the necklace, it's gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a relief that you were speaking in degrees of Fahrenheit, because I had started to think that global warming had really hit Seattle hard. :-P
ReplyDeleteAnd is it okay if we have the same necklace if we live on opposite ends of the country AND if we promise not to wear it if we meet? Because I might just have to have that too.
So glad you had such a beautiful weekend!
;) I have some crafty readers from other countries, so I figured I should clarify!
DeleteAnd yes, please go buy the necklace if it makes you happy. I am SO not one of those people who cares about other people having the same stuff!
Beautiful necklace :)
ReplyDeletelove your unexpected and very lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteit is so lovely when things just work out! :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, pretty necklace. I have pretty much given up on necklaces as the kids tend to yank on them, but this makes me want to try again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful weekend. Happy April to you.
I know - I don't wear anything but earrings since I have a nursing baby. I was just starting to wear stuff again after T turned 2, but had to quit. I don't even wear my engagement ring since I'm worried about scratching the baby with it.
DeleteLove, love, love the necklace. Can't wait to see the finished family photos!
