Balloons Make Any Car Ride Better

Sunny Friday

What?

Who says my skirt has to touch the top of my knees? 

Balloons

I love watching Ella experience new things, this weekend it was balloons! 

Dinner with my Loves

Just like every other couple with kids, we rarely go out to eat anymore. Tonight, we went big! 

Dinner out AND ice cream on the way home! We tried the Meadows on Route 19 in Cranberry (formally the creamery), they do custard, yogurt, and Italian ice. 

They always feature chocolate and vanilla custard and two additional flavors of the day. Savings secret: they have "pre dipped" pints of ice cream, which are basically the leftover flavor from previous days. One of these pints costs $3.81, not bad considering a medium cone of a feature flavor is $3.60 and a 1/2 gallon at Giant Eagle is $5! 

Strawberry Crepes

Josh and I joined a food share this summer; and picked up our first allotment today.  First thing we did? Added fresh green onions to our Subway sandwiches. Second thing? Make strawberry Crepes, of course! :) 

Sunny Days

Ella and I are enjoying the rare sunny days in PA this week! 

Thanks for the blanket, Aunt Lauren, and for my cheetah dress, Gram!  

Does This Make My Head Look Fat?

My mom made this beautiful bonnet for Ella and gave it to me at my baby shower. It was made from my grandmother's handkerchief. Her name was Ethel, so it has a hand stitched "E" on the side. I hope someday this treasure is Ella's "Something Blue".

Spikeball's Newest Model

If you have talked to Josh in the last month, you have heard about spikeball! Now, he even has Ella hooked.
