i have no pictures of my little lassie running around this weekend because…

she wasn’t here. darla spent the weekend with my parents and hubster and i enjoyed a lovely weekend.

so here’s how i spent my ample amounts of time: dinner date with husband. put some finishing touches on the holiday decorating. cleaning. rearranging darla’s room into a “big girl” room. accepted a spur of the moment movie lady date to see anna karenina. costumes and cinematography were exquisite. consumed my first white russian in about 7 years. dinner with friends. i rocked the mic at karaoke with husband and friends. more cleaning. reading. extra long gym time. extra long shower time. extra long everything! weeeeee!

but i’m ready to have her back.

just a bit of our fantastic fall weekend:

the best part, by far, was meeting our nephew. welcome to the party, little man!

aaaand fairfield county fair. just wouldn’t be (w)right for us to miss a fair.

family effort pancake breakfast for friends

that was well received

and finished it up with a walk to admire our neighborhood in more ways than one ;-)

i hope you all had a refreshing, fulfilling weekend as well.

good vibes to you for a great start to your week.

the majority of our weekend was just some one on one time. that’s ok because we did lots of gnarly adventures, mainly breaking in Madame RuJu. here’s some of it:

using the swings in new ways

running to dinner in a light shower and entertaining other patrons with a costumed dance number

“planting” flowers at the park for her grandmas

climbing rocks and taking hikes

now, our biggest victory of the weekend was discovering an amazing bakery by our house. it’s so amazing that i am going to be selfish and not reveal the name or location. ok, i won’t do that. we stopped into the french loaf for the first time and WOW. just wow. go there. you’ll see what i mean.
