ruffle buns

Lucy had an impromptu "house" party Saturday evening. When I saw those sweet girls in all their ruffle swim glory I had to grab my camera. It was hysterical the way they jibber-jabbered away in their toddler talk to each other like little ladies at a dinner party. 

Happy Sunday ya'll! 

good enough ♥

Hellooooooooo!!! Hope everyone enjoyed a beautiful holiday weekend. Ours got off to an unexpected rocky start but quickly recovered. I don't know what it was about the past few days but we've really started to slow down around here and just be really thankful for what's right in front of us. We didn't work on big projects or plan new ones. We just "maintained" and enjoyed the beauty that spring brought us. We played outside, hosted a little cookout for the neighbors, went swimming, took a little day trip to giant antique center and an outlet mall. It has honestly felt like a mini vacation. I think we'll be behaving like this more often. What we have is good enough- it's actually better than good it's great and I'm so thankful. I've been on this self imposed house tweaking treadmill long enough and I'm just ready to enjoy. We're looking forward to our side yard fence going in this weekend (we've been on the wait list for 6 weeks!) so we can be outside even more in the coming months. 

I snapped a few photos at dusk last night of our sun room. It's so pretty that time of day. The shabby pink peonies (my absolute favorite!) were one of the many welcome surprises to pop in the yard in the past couple of weeks. 

and for good measure a photo of sweet Lucy. the official Memorial Day 2011 Corn Hole Champ!

I hope you found a little slice of peace and happiness this past weekend too. ♥

Happy Saturday everyone. We're enjoying the last days of summer with some sun and some sand. More adorableness to come later. Until then I wish you last second sunburns, sand between your toes and sticky ice cream hands!

To the Indiana State Fair we go!

My absolute favorite photo in recent memory, Nick snapped this cow waiting outside. 

I thought I 'd take a moment to share with Lucy the schedule of events.

She clearly just thought the program was lunch.

Checking out the chickens and roosters.

And my personal favorites the bunnies!
