Curious Bird

a snail's pace

there is nothing like a good snack plate when times are stressful and the adjustment to a new schedule is taking its toll. a little salty and a little sweet and I'm set. if you like figs, you should get your hands on some pronto because they are really amazing right now. well, at least the ones I've stumbled across lately. amazing.

in other news, the house is slowly coming together --I am moving at a snail's pace with this move, which I'm certain has to do with school, but it has been frustrating nonetheless. perhaps this weekend will be a good weekend to get settled a little more -- I'm having a clothing swap/ladies get-together on Saturday evening, which I'm hoping with be just the kick the pants I need to get things in order. Lots of little projects in the works...maybe my kitchen will be painted greeeeeen soon. fingers crossed.

and just in case you're curious, the boys are really relaxed lately (photo proof below). they love the new house, especially sitting at the front door looking out onto the street. so much to take in out there. it's exhausting.

oh, and happy autumn!

have a lovely weekend.

time flies.

hello there,

man oh man, I fell into a rabbit hole.  the photo above shows how much I have been able to climb out. yep, not too much, although, I am working on it.

let's just say that having a very busy summer and then moving to a new place (one that we really love, but one that needed a little tlc -- still need to paint the kitchen), AND starting back to graduate school has been a bit much. I don't recommend throwing all of those things into the mix at one time. not such a good idea, it turns out.

so, the blog silence might continue for a bit longer.  I will pop in sometime soon to say hello and hopefully share a few photos -- mortimer is really dying to show off his favorite new napping spot,  the stairs.

soon, I hope.

two.

today is one of my favorite days of the year. it's our anniversary! and although I'm not really sure how the heck it happened, two years have passed. two wonderful years. I feel so grateful for him, for us, for our life together. It's a good life.

happy anniversary, my sweet. once again, I'm so glad we found each other.
