This & That

This past weekend was a perfect weather weekend at the lake - while we only went for an overnight, it was plenty of time to enjoy the sun - it was the first weekend that I was wanting a jacket on the dock at night.

Weekend before last was our first weekend at home and with no plans in quite a while - we napped, caught up on housework and spent time at the pool.  Sunday night was the perfect "summer night" - an impromptu happy hour on the porch and then Mexican night on the deck.  I might be starting to get the itch for fall a little bit but these simple summer nights are my favorite.

It might have taken us until almost mid-July but we finally got our summer flowers - a few for the front porch, a few for the deck - not much but enough to last us the rest of the season.

We've been loving our summer walks - it's the easiest way for me to get a workout in while being pregnant and it's worked well so far.  Stella and I usually set out in the morning to get the day started then Derek will join us for a night stroll.  

Thinking about the holiday season with a little one to do all the "kid things" even though he'll just be tiny has me so excited.  I've been loving Christmas week on the Hallmark Channel and we even had a little Christmas in July event last week in the neighborhood.

While I wasn't quite sure about the Nordstrom sale at first I think this year I found more than usual that I like - not a ton but I think it was because I didn't go in to just "buy all the things" and had just a small list of a few categories to look for since trying on with a bump is hard.

My girlfriend keeps adjusting more and more to her new surroundings...
