A Dazzling Night

Happy Fourth of July! Last night, our city held a fireworks show. While I was too tired to go out to the park to watch it, my husband and I discovered we had a pretty good view from our house. Sitting on the bed in the nursery, we looked out the windows past roofs and treetops and watched dazzling fireworks light up the sky. It was amazing!

A Happy Holiday

The Fourth of July holiday brought my husband's friend, his wife and their baby into town for a visit. Since our kitchen renovation has the house in shambles, we decided at the last minute to stay out at my parents' house in the country. I'm so glad we did! Some other friends stopped by too, so the weekend became this wonderful mix of sharing stories, laughing, eating, swimming, babies, dogs, sunshine and fireworks. It was a truly special time.

At Last

I thought it would never arrive, but the weekend is almost here. And it's a long weekend. I couldn't be happier. The last few weeks have been so busy and my husband and I want to simply relax. We've purposely made no plans other than an afternoon by the pool at my parents' house. 

Here's wishing everyone a leisurely, fun and glamorous weekend!
