Left church today in a light, springy outfit (read: sleeveless shirt with a very airy, flowing skirt) only to decide on the way home that we should divert to the beach for some chowder. Turns out it was pouring and windy at the beach, which didn’t stop Carson from wanting to fly his kite. And this is how I found myself trying to navigate the wet rocks leading to the beach in Dansko heels and a white skirt while clutching a baby blanket around my shoulders.

Nolan is officially feeling better after what seems like one flu after another this winter. The child is eating us out of house and home. Three yogurts or a dozen slices of cheese is now considered a meal.

Oh, and we bought a house this weekend! More on that later... but for now if you’re interested in purchasing a nice little 3-bedroom, 2-bath starter-home with a relatively large backyard in McMinnville – let us know!
