who knew barges could be so beautiful?

4 weeks

our little man is now four weeks old (one month tomorrow) and i never thought i'd say this but i can't believe that he's already a month old.  time seemed to creep for so long and now i feel like it's starting to fly by.

so, before my little guy and i head out for some errands (but mostly for my own sanity and quickly encroaching cabin fever), i'm showing off the quad-weeker's latest snaps.

a smile & a yawn...

3 weeks old.  the little guy is starting to get the hang of life outside the womb.  his smiles are ultimately limited to tummy rumblings and not happy emotions but i'm awaiting the day that he shows off those little gums for a reason that's not gastric-motivated.  i hope you enjoy this little face as much as i do.

make a wish...

a lifestyle wardrobe

i never used to think about function when it came to clothes...however, with breastfeeding now seeping into my daily routine every few hours, i'm ultimately limited to nursing tanks if i want to make my life as easy as possible (which i do).  so, my only real option as far as introducing any style into my new, function-driven wardrobe is to find cute cardigans and vests (open front now required).  where else is there to look than the always-reliable j.crew?  above: my new purchase

a different kind of family portrait

love the relaxed composition of this family portrait by slim aarons...maybe i'll try to recreate it with my little family in front of our little house.

i know everyone has seen jeff koons' work but i especially love the contrast of the slick & shiny magenta balloon dog with the rough, aged building exterior.

hostas are out in all their glory.

every gardeness loves her copper...

who knew a rake could be so beautiful.

great shoes...amazing cause...and these would bring out our little man's likely blue eyes (but i cannot confirm that just yet).
