Happy 4th!

We've celebrated our freedom by sleeping almost the whole entire day (:

and now we're off to see some fireworks! Yippee!

We wish we could sit and watch fireworks and celebrate our freedom with each of you.

Hope you're enjoying the day!

Happy Independence Day!

I'm supposed to be napping right now

but these are flitting around my brain...

oh goodness.

And there was beauty everywhere the eye rested....

(from Cherisse's room. lucky girl!)

I am always struck by how Charity brings such a graceful femininity everywhere she is and it is especially delightful within her home. Everywhere you look there is beauty and elegance. It is inspiring. And makes you raise your pinky every time you eat (: 

That or wish you spoke at least a little french....

I can't wait to tell you more about my wonderful visit! But for now I am going to cuddle with Husband, get some sleep, and try to recover from whatever nasty thing that gross airport food gave me. Bleh!

Little Letters

Dear Stanleys,

Your fruits and veggies are oh so good! And cheap! We have so much fun introducing people to you, you make us look so cool.

Dear Dance Floors At Weddings,

Gosh we like you a lot. You really bring out the crazy side in Husband and I like it (:

Dear Husband,

Where did those dance moves come from?! Rockin', man, rockin'

Dear Grant Park,

We had no idea you were so big! And after an hour of walking looking for the movie in the park we were really hoping you weren't any bigger. Give us a hint next time? Ok, thanks.

Dear Cherisse,

Baby girl I cannot wait to hug you and kiss your cute little cheeks!! I plan on holding you the whole entire weekend, except for when your Mama forces me to let you go, just so you know. 

Dear Charity,

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I can't believe I'm going to see you this weekend!!

Dear Heat Index,

100+ huh? Bring it on.

Dear Simulcasted Paris Ballet,

AMAZING.

Dear Bike,

Was that really necessary? I mean really! Shame.

Dear Airplane I'm Going To Be On Tomorrow,

Please don't be freezing. Thanks so very much.

Dear Husband,

I am going to miss you so badly. What was I thinking....

I thought I was so domestic... and then I got married

and burned our dinner.

 

and now our little apartment and everything in it is going to smell

like burned sautéed green beans and potatoes for days.

Oops.

It makes me sad when websites say one thing and locked doors say another

But the sitting and waiting for 30 minutes was quite nice, and I always enjoy a 

good people watching spot (:

 until a guy with cool red shoes caught me trying to take a picture of 

said cool red shoes.... and then it just got really awkward. 

Someone needs to work on her incognito skills. 

Pronto.

Evenings around here...

usually involve a walk, some hand holding, maybe a whispered secret or two, 

and lots of shared laughs over the day's events.
