i thought that the weekend was going to, surely, bring cooler weather. it just had to. i had company coming in town. and this is my favorite friend to go on walks with; so the weather needed to be cooler. and the baby - she needed to nap. but for some reason, the first time ever, she refused to take her afternoon nap. i wanted to cry. but i went with it. and so did maribeth. thank you. and even though it was a disgusting 90something degrees outside, we plopped the baby in her stroller and walked. and while we walked, we solved the world problems - or at least resolved to eliminate all debt and desire for excess "stuff" from our lives - and, the baby slept. it was wonderful. maribeth is wonderful. my college roommate, a best friend, such an easy person to be around - i wish she could spend more time at my house. it was such a good visit - she got to love on loralai and i got to sit back and watch two of my favorite girls play together. precious sweet love.
maribeth came in town because one of our college friends, jenn, is getting married in october. and so a bridal shower was thrown for her - which meant that we all got to have a girls' night and go out to eat together. aaah fondu. deliciousness.
but being the mama that i am, all i could think about was curling up into my comfy bed halfway through dinner. it probably sounds lame. but i think a comfy bed is a delicacy to all mommies.
after company left, todd and i made our way to the park and then to run some errands. and now, finally, (umm a few days later mister weather man) the weather is cooling off. but i'm not complainin' - Fall, come on! i'm ready for your briskness and cool morning walks.

the beautiful, almost married, jenn.
the beautiful maribeth.
i somehow manage to make scary eyes - but jordan, she just glows.
aunt maribeth and loralai. it was a fun little game of up and down the horsey leg goes. i think it was a workout for mb.
i'm pretty sure maribeth was holding loralai's hand so that she didn't get curious and try to eat her curly hair.
outside is this little baby's most favorite place to be. something about the leaves moving, the wind blowing, the birds chirping, squirrels running around - all of it - it just makes her little heart so content.

i give up. i tried and tried to get the formatting right on these stinking pictures but it was just hopeless. sometimes i just don't understand blogger and its oddness with photos.
yea for new photos. (blah for not being able to get them right.)
i like the new look of your site. (those little bullet/pushpin things on the old one made me feel claustrophobic--they were too close to the words.)
and yea for cool weather. i'm looking forward to turning off the ac and opening the windows for fresh air. so now it just needs to stop raining.
I missed being with the girls this weekend, but must admit that I had a great anniversary weekend. I hope you had a drink and laugh for me. Love you all and miss each of you.
i am so sad that i missed the MB goodness. you guys all look gorgeous, and like you had a blast. i'm so glad that you got to have good quality time with the girls.
and, YES, bring on the fall. i LOVE LOVE LOVE this weather!
