Pretty in Pink

There's just something about a new dress that makes a girl want to twirl...

The Mommas and the Poppas

What a wonderful Mother's Day weekend we had. We loaded up the family truckster, kissed Biscuit goodbye and headed to my favorite place. In honor of Harper's first beach vacation with both of us, Robbie even turned off his blackberry for the weekend and left it in a drawer. Never thought I'd see the day...

We had a fantastic few days sitting in the sand, playing in the pool and hanging out with Giagia and Papa. My dad even stayed in while Harper napped Saturday afternoon so Robbie, Mom and I could have some uninterrupted sun time and Dave and Robbie shared duty Sunday afternoon as an added Mother's Day treat...though perhaps the final round of the Player's Championship had a hand in that gesture of goodwill.

Sunday night brought an impromptu reunion with our Birmingham neighbors, who were also in town. Harper and Elliott bonded over a shared love of pink sunglasses and cheerios while we caught up with Nate and Jenn.


And our family tree grew a couple new leaves this week when my brother and sister-in-law (Richard and Brooke) had their twins (Dylan Elizabeth & Richard Connor) on Thursday morning in D.C. Welcome Dylan and Connor, Harper can't wait to play with her new cousins!!!
