just like summer:

I make a mean lemonade. Just the right amount of sweet & sour.

one day:

This was today.

And it was a good one.

wedding bells:

A few weeks ago I had a session with my step brother and his bride to be. Here are a few shots of the beautiful couple. 

Perfect sunlight. Warm air. The park all to ourselves. Magic!

They are giddy with excitement and ready to dance their wedding night away. June 9th is the big day. Now that I've met her side of the family, I know it will be one hell of a party !!

weekending:

Drawers were emptied, dusted, and sorted. Clothes were laundered, folded, and put away. Closets were organized, bags of clothing put aside for donation. Meals cooked. Friends and family around my table for food, drink, and conversation. A soft fire burning in the background. The weekend was chill, exactly how I like them best.

Weekending with: Amanda

roadtrip usa:

It's been rainy and muggy all week and my mood is definitely cramped because of it.

I've noticed that when I get like this it's because I'm processing something that needs to be shared. Thank god for friends who call to talk, the ones who know how to flush the deep stuff right out of you. I always feel 10 pounds lighter after one phone call. 

We have bonus days added to our long weekend because of un-used snow days, so we are headed down the shore (to the beach, in NJ speak) for some much needed splash of fun. I just hope the sun comes out to play.

Another week long break from blogging means stuff was happening behind the scenes! My daughter's class had their end of the year show - and it was fantastic. She is such a natural on stage! The show was a mix of chorus, band, and a play - a great cap off to a full week.

The girl has officially reached my height. We see each other eye to eye and I know it will only be a matter of months before I'm looking up to talk to her. That right there is blowing my mind! Time flies is an understatement. Blink of an eye is more appropriate for how fast it passes.

I hope you enjoy your weekend.
