over the weekend...

I meant to post this on Monday, or at the very least, Tuesday, but time has just slipped away from me this week! 

Here are a few peeks of how we spent last weekend...

Admiring my little getting big baby belly

Coloring outside (yay for sunshine!)

Getting new Legos- he literally played with them the entire day

Afternoon naps for mama

Getting to catch up with a dear friend on the phone

Helping Daddy make pancakes for dinner

Knitting projects for the baby

Zucchini muffins

Practicing writing his name

Convicting sermon at church

Date night with my husband-Costco, Target, and Mexican food. It was perfect. 

Such a lovely weekend.

(For more peeks, see my Ten on Ten from Saturday!)

P.S. Thank you so much for all the sweet comments on my last post. It is so special to be able to share my joy with all of you! 

over last weekend :: part one (the family edition)

Avocado toast for Saturday lunch. It is one of Audrey + my favorites. Just avocado, bread, and a little salt + pepper. Perfect. 

I spent an insane amount of time driving around on Saturday afternoon from store to store looking for all the components of the soil for our square foot garden. I should have called ahead, but oh, well. In the end, I was super proud of how inexpensively I was able to buy everything! 

A Saturday evening park date with the cousins. They really enjoyed watching the daddies play tennis.And we are all really loving summertime weather and how much more often we are seeing each other!

Sweet Hollyn Joy.

Audrey and her lovely braids that I can't get enough of.

My first full weekend of flip-flop wearing because it was finally warm enough. Yay! 

Packaging photo disks to go to sweet clients.

My little helper. She was in charge of stapling. 

All of our garden stuff mixed in with the kids' toys. Our Sunday morning was spent mixing up the soil for our garden, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the whole process! Maybe I do have a green thumb after all! We'll see...

Mr. Elliot playing with one of my favorite purchases from Farm Chicks on Sunday afternoon (more details +  photos about that to come in part two!). Who knew that a typewriter would be the perfect thing to entertain an almost four year old boy? He loves it! 

How was your weekend, dear friends?

over last weekend

Just in time before a new weekend arrives! 

A little sneak peek from a super, super sweet family shoot I did out of town last weekend. This family was seriously as fun and darling in person as they look in this picture!  (And there are lots more to come soon, Cherish! I promise!) 

Another sneak peek from another darling family shoot I did on the same day. This family also happened to include a really dear friend of mine who I hardly ever get to see. It was such a blessing to be able to catch up in person a bit! 

Audrey Bug helping me make food for Erik and my date. She was buttering garlic bread.

Our pasta sauce cooking.

My sweet husband working on the wood frame for our square foot garden.

The frame in it's new home.

A beautiful tree in our yard. I love spring so much.

A + E's plants from preschool that are going to be transplanted soon into our backyard garden. Elliot's is a sweet pea, Audrey's is a sunflower.

Our date.

Getting to see this lovely friend again at the tail-end of her girls' weekend with my sister-in-laws- Amy + Kelsey. I love that I am not the only one in my family who has met some of my very best friends through blogging! 

The four sisters together. I also got to meet Courtney for the very first time. (Here is a little background about how they all met...)

Kelsey + her twin! 

The grandkids following their great-grandpa Opa out on a hike on my in-laws' property. 

Jenn and her sweet Ashlyn.

Memorial Day BBQ at a dear friend's. I love how she decorates her back patio. 

Yummy food.

And the best cherry pie I have ever, ever tasted. 

What are you up to this weekend? 
Hope you have a great one!
