Spring is great. I know. BUT. Now as the days take on a golden feel and the farmers market begins to swell with new produce and the leaves begin to deepen into darker green, I cannot help but feel we have just been preparing all year for this. For wine on the porch. For backyard parties. For watermelon and lighting bugs and the coming of harvest. And harvest of course turns into Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, yes, far superior to the first half of the year.
We celebrated my grandma's 85th birthday this week. Isn't she cute? 
Lulu looks awfully large on her!
Luke and Lizzy got her these flowers:
And I've been bringing Lulu to work with me a lot.
She chills under my desk. Sometimes I put her in the closet to nap. Don't worry, it's a nice large closet with a window. She causes quite a stir. Has old wise men just eating right out of her hand. I am so thankful that we have friends who are old and young and black and white, and she might think it's all quite normal for everyone to love and respect each other.
Lulu gets to spend more time in less clothes now that it's summer. She is thrilled.
She prefers even less clothes, actually.
I'm ready to ease out of the the stress of birth and a newborn and adjustment to a new stage of life. Ready to just completely embrace this stage. It's summer, my baby is growing so fast, and it's time to meet up with the neighbors and go for a walk.

I would like to agree with... everything you just said. &, the summer resolutions. (Although I've already got the skirts & dresses thing... It's a good one, pants are over-rated.) & isn't it nice to feel like we're adjusting? I CAN go places with my baby!! Yay! & a season in which clothes are optional for baby? I'm all aflutter at the thought of that much less laundry.
Lunch again soon?
yesss i was just thinking we need to schedule lunch! how's a week from monday? my place!
