over the weekend…

February 27th 2012

hope your weekend was beautiful!
we stayed around the house for most of the weekend. josh made us a delicious brussel sprout and pancetta dish. some darling teeny tiny hunter boots arrived for miss eleanor (i couldn’t help myself from ordering them since they were so marked down on gilt the other week). we went to church meetings on sunday (and saturday! hello stake conference) and took a long peaceful nap together as a family on sunday afternoon. josh and i stayed up late one night just talking. it’s been a while since we’ve done that. and i don’t think it’s possible to count how many books little lady eleanor read.
josh and i also saw jim gaffigan’s show over the weekend. i had gotten tickets for josh’s christmas stocking back in early december so we had been anxiously awaiting february 24th for a long time! we really love that guy. but what’s not to love when he’s cracking jokes all night about raising babies, big families, hating the gym, taking 6,000 pictures a day of your life and then spends 30 minutes straight just on the topic of mcdonalds alone? a comedian right up our alley. ;) i mean, you’ve seen this, right? so good.

  1. So fun!! Glad you enjoyed the show. My oh my, Eleanor is quite big nowadays

  2. comedy shows are the best! And those baby Hunters for Eleanor…I die.

    Love the mini hunters. I had to laugh, because we almost bought those same ones from Gilt too but they didn't have them in our kids sizes. Boo! Gotta love Gilt though.

    Eleanor just keeps getting cuter and cuter, if that's even possible. She has such beautiful, big eyes. I can't wait to enter that part of my life when I enjoy quiet times with my babies at home reading, playing and napping. Instead of this 9-6 thing I really dislike…

    Happy Monday!

  27. Ash
