last saturday i was honored to help with sweet mandie's baby shower. more to come on that celebration next week.
this surprise snake plant bloom is so cool. these plants rarely, if ever, flower. i may have been dancing around the living room upon discovery.
a sign you live in albuquerque: walter white's memorial service is held across the street from your neighborhood. jesse and i have not seen breaking bad, but lots of our family and friends are fans. so this ups our cool points, right?
late sunday cat naps are very sweet, but don't bode well for early bedtimes.
if i had to finish the yucky root canal treatment, at least this is the lobby view. plants make me happy.
and pruning makes me uncomfortable. but then i remember...
"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." John 15:2

they are enjoying the ability to play piano after dusk.
wednesday was our fifteen years couple-versary. thursday was our fourteen years engagement-versary. i am a sucker for anniversaries of all kinds.
we left the house on this rainy friday morning for my first classical conversations
campus visit. 10 minutes in and i see my 3yo stripped down to the waist
and my 8yo hiding under a table. pretty much a smashing success, don't
ya think? thankfully homeschool mamas are very understanding.
when we left the building, i spotted the snake house by architect bart prince. (i don't think that is the official name - nope, it is not - but i have heard the nickname around.) i had been meaning to take the kids down this street for awhile, so we redeemed the afternoon and went exploring to get a better view. luca has decided this will be his future abode.

saturday night we held a little patio pizza party complete with zinnias and sunflowers from the garden. it was our last family dinner with jesse's parents before they drove back to houston.
after an early morning wake-up to say goodbye to grandpa viejo and grandma scrunchies, we
decided to make the most of the beautiful sunday start and head over to
the bosque to watch the last mass ascension of balloonfiesta. hot
drinks in hand, of course. followed by baptisms at church made for an excellent morning.
monday i chose to just keep singing.
the happiest of happy mail is when a friend knows your heart.
i had a root canal on tuesday which was just awful. the pain is just now subsiding and i am getting sensation back in my cheek. so the playing in this outdoor fort for an entire afternoon was just what this mama needed.
and then this guy built me a fire after that long day.
and then it was gia's turn in the dentist chair. darn our soft teeth.
my crafting partner at the local anthropologie holiday display workshop. such good mid week crafting therapy.
which spurred me on to do some crafting at home on thursday. after a long dry spell, i was inspired to make something pretty. also? i am on a mission to get our landlord to let me paint the front door turquoise.
do i ever not need this reminder? the answer is no.
1) she would eat a bowl of olives at every meal if we let her.
2) she talks like a barbie movie (or self-help book). "never stop
practicing!" is her new motto.
3) she has been wearing the same clothes for 3 days since we bagged up
all of the others (costumes included) as a consequence for not taking
care of her things.
the cause for praise concert at our church (luca and i spent most of the time in the foyer due to the too-loud-for-his-spd-ears volume) followed by a family date at a favorite local spot was such an unexpectedly sweet time together.
(i forgot to post this last night! church worship concert, family date night and final baby shower prep for this morning were more important. but we'll still count this as day 18. cause i get to make the rules here and all.)
