One Month Later

We visited with Sara + Marcel again yesterday, and we got to see Audrey exactly one month after we first met her (I wrote about it here and here).

This time I held her for a long time, and she's just so cute!

She slept most of the time we were there, but Eric held her while she was wide awake.

Look! Isn't that just the sweetest? They're a real little family, and they're all getting comfortable with each other. 

Unfortunately I didn't get a good one of Sara holding her, but she was happiest in her mama's arms.

We're thinking we should have a standing date on the 29th of every month. :)

The Big Room

When we were at MoCA, we also saw the new exhibit in what I like to call "the big room." I love that room. I don't like the exhibit, but the room takes my breath away every time - no matter what's on display.

Pretty cool, huh? It's just enormous.

Sol LeWitt Exhibit at MASS MoCA

Last weekend, we checked out the Sol LeWitt exhibit at MASS MoCA. We saw it when the exhibit was first installed, but we wanted to take another peek.

It was just as impressive the second time. 

Audrey Ann-Marie

Right about now, you should be so jealous of us. We just had the pleasure of meeting Sara + Marcel's new daughter, Audrey! She was born yesterday at 5:30pm, and good grief is she darling.

Sara + Marcel are parents (something I can't even imagine), and they look amazed and happy and wonderful. We're so very happy for them and their brand new family. xoxo

Decked Out

Last night, my dad and my brother and I went for a walk so I could take pictures of the most festive house in the neighborhood. These folks decorate every year, and each year there's a little more.

I'm glad some people get so into decorating for the holidays. It's fun for everybody. 

Z, Christmas Day 2010

Look who's excited for Christmas!

Mr. Z's tail has been wagging all day; I've been giving him extra attention. I love spending time with the dog. Merry Christmas to me! And you, and you, and you! 

Happy holidays! ★

Rachel On Thanksgiving

My family has a bit of an untraditional Thanksgiving celebration, and it's an event we look forward to all year long. I think there are usually about 30 people at dinner, and many seated around the table are ridiculously talented. 

After dinner, we move tables and chairs out of the way and the performances begin. The pictures are of my cousin Rachel belting out a a tune for all of us. 

Down By The Water

Oh gosh! This is the longest I've ever gone without posting. A lot's been happening around here, lately! I started a new job the week of Thanksgiving, and I no longer work from home. I now commute over an hour each way and I work 9-5. I'm loving my new job, and I'm busy every minute I'm there. When I come home, I eat dinner and then work on Everything Little Miss projects (I'm posting over on that blog more regularly, so you may want to take a peek and see what I've been up to!). I'm getting used to my new routine, and things have slowed down a little now. I'm hoping to get back into posting here at least once or twice a week, because I miss it!

I took this picture the Saturday following Thanksgiving. That's my cousin you see there, and we were in Cold Spring, NY. It was a beautiful day, so we took a little walk down to the water. It was pretty windy and cold, so we stayed just long enough to snap a photo or two.

The Girl's Got Style

I spotted this little girl in Harvard Square last week.

I love a great coat with a hood! Do they make that jacket in my size? I'll take one please. And maybe a hair bow, as well. 

Looking Backward

Sometimes it's worth it to look backward. To stop and enjoy the full 360° view. 

I took this picture on our drive home from New Jersey the Sunday before last. The sunset was stunning.
