Yard Work

These make me so happy!!
And so do my zinnias, especially since the whole seed packet cost like $0.88.
This is where I am not succeeding. I think my roses may need to RIP...and that boxwood bush behind as well. How did these roses get so creepy looking?!
Should have pictures to show you soon of my veggies!
And a special thanks to Amy Free for the new blog header- yay!

Sorry...

for the weird posts in your reader, if you got those. Apparently my Polyvore account thought it needed to load lots of randoms directly onto the blog.
Oops.
Happy Friday!

More catching up-Beach Trip

Here's the recap from our beach trip in May with a lot of Hedgspeth's. We headed back to North Topsail Island (NC) for another week of perfect weather, good food, and laziness. What else could you ask for in a week at the beach? Its so great to have this time together in the same house for a full week. I love that we're not just grabbing dinner; we're together all day, all week. The big treat for the week was having Katy and Brian join us from Connecticut. We haven't spent much time together in the last few years, so I was quite thankful for time with my cousin. And I'm pretty sure that all the children are obsessed with Brian after all the sandcastle building, wave surfing, game playing, fishing, etc.

Let's giggle about how posed I look in that group shot....an effort to avoid a smooshed arm gone wrong.
And I like how much brother Ben looks like a robot in that one.


Sadie LOVED the beach. Here's some evidence...

Pigtails!!
Can't wait until next year!

I'm late finally posting these to the blog, but here is a taste of sweet Amy's talent. She posted some others here. I love the way she captured our Sadie girl- so accurate. Enjoy!

And six weeks later...

Worst blogger EVER. I've given you zero material for quite some time. Sorry. Life got in the way and the one time I tried Blogger was down all night. Regardless, here is the follow up to the rest of our Kentucky trip...

Downtown Louisville has really changed since we lived there 5 years ago. There is a lot more activity, especially since the new Yum Center opened. Stephen and I stayed at 21C again, and it was great. We LOVED our dinner at Proof. The menu was totally intimidating, but once we decided to just trust the chef and our hipster waiter, we were good to go. Let's just say I ate fiddlehead ferns for the first time. This hotel and restaurant are interesting. There is definitely a strong sense of luxury, but everything somehow manages to stay low key. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I'm happy when someone greets me with a personal, handwritten note and some chocolate...

Here's our room- refreshingly modern.
And now a tour of downtown in pictures...



KY friends, do these two pictures scream field trip?

I'll be back soon with Sadie's 18 month photoshoot and some things that are making me really happy...Oh, miscellaneous sidenote. Please go to Proof for dinner, but also consider it for breakfast. Their oatmeal is amazing.
