oh!

so THAT'S what a perfect sunday looks like.

in addition to starting the day off with a nice cup of coffee with some dear friends, we also enjoyed brunch with some more family just before going to the beach. these photos really make me realize just how fortunate i am to have such a wonderful family that i love so much.

weekend in the sun.

with lots of friends. lots of food. and lots of laughs with the little ones.

and remember that fanTAStic run i had last sunday? well yesterday i didn't have quite as much luck {more on that later this week}. but it's safe to say that my loss was this guy's gain. he beat me in our little weekly running mileage challenge by a longggggg shot. but i quickly forgot about my loss by escaping to one too many episodes of a new favorite of mine. i held out for a long time but i'm officially hooked {ms. deschanel's on-set wardrobe has a lot to do with it}.

so excited.

about an upcoming mini-holiday to austin that my cousin and i are going to take. back in the day, she and i were road trip queens so it'll be just like old times hitting the road with her. but even better this time around because we'll both have our little angels with us. probably didn't ever think we'd be taking THIS kind of road trip. but i think i speak for us both when i say that i'm excited for the adventure. we're thinking about staying here because it pretty much looks like perfection in a hotel. but if anyone has any other kid-friendly, downtown hotel recommendations, we're all ears.

aside from this very exciting little vacay, we're also pretty thrilled to spend some more time with mila's new bff this weekend. it's been a couple days since they got together so i foresee lots of kisses and hugs and toy sharing while they soak up some sun on the beach tomorrow.

and oh yeah! fun eight mile run today {and yesterday. but who's counting?}

happy weekend!

a little vacation.

last week, i took a little vacation from the blog. for some reason, i just couldn't bring myself to sit down and reflect on my thoughts. our latest happenings around town. or share all the perfection that pinterest can sometimes bring.

aside from the a.m. gloomy weather that corpus experienced last week, nick and i were fortunate enough to celebrate our TWO year anniversary here while mila and i spent most of our afternoons filled with sunshine and endless attempts at getting rid of this darn sickness. we finally succeeded {for a few days anyway}, only to wake up yesterday, yet again, with congestion and a nasty cough. so it's back to lots of naps, using anything i can get my hands on as a kleenex and a ridiculous amount of trips to the sauna.

i think our low-key weekend at the beach house may help this thrice recovery though. mila got to get in some Q.T. with her new B.F. {that's BEST friend....not BOY friend} and we soaked in as much salty corpus air as we possibly could.

here's to a very happy monday!
