a while back now, adam’s brother, ben, and his wife, katie, came to visit us over the labor day weekend.  gwyn was also here visiting – she’s basically a regular at this point!  which makes me the happiest, ever in life.  this post is super delayed but i wanted to post these pictures.  we did the usual – took them to lower broadway and hung out at the house.  here are my favorite pictures:

out on the town

katie didn’t have her camera so i took a bunch of her and ben.  aren’t they too cute?  and katie is pregnant (in case you were thinking she just had a really round belly) with twins!!!

oh yeah!  and when we were at the stage tommy two tone got up on the stage and sang Jenny (867-5309)!  haha it was hilarious and adam loved it.

sing it! 8-6-7-5-3 OH niiiiine

us goofing around at the stage:

ick

okay fine.

jeez you guys. so serious!

girls! what?

here you go katie, a good one

three amigos?

okay ya’ll i need about 71 seconds of your time.  my friend, heather, who currently lives in australia is in a contest to win lots of really fun things (like makeup and getting to be a model!) so i need you to go vote for her.

bombshell!

here are your 3 easy steps:

1. click here  http://thephotostudio.com.au/fashion/fashionweekendnov09.html

2. then hit “click here to view the gallery”  you’ll have to fill in a few lines of personal info but it’s only so one person doesn’t vote a bajillion times – nothing too hardcore.  (20 seconds, dead sere)

3. go to picture #60 – isn’t she gorg?

4. scroll to the bottom and enter your email and the #60.

voila!  that easy!  fingers crossed heath!  good luck  :)

adam got a promotion :)

i was looking through some pictures on my computer (you know, naming the file then organizing them) when i came across some photos from this summer that i had forgotten about.  i’ll put them into one post here.

 

dinner with gwyn, mags and mom

pet shops with adam
for a while there adam and i were visiting pet shops every week.  adam’s teaching me about how to be a good dog caretaker before we get our dog (hopefully next spring!)  this dog was so cute and his sign is hilarious!

florida vacation part VII (can you believe it?)

well folks, it’s been a full three months since i returned home from florida but gosh darned it, i’m determined!  so at last, the final installment of the florida vacay.  let’s go!

quick recap: maggie, gwyn and i were last on key west and were on our way back to miami to take gwyn to the airport.

 

there were so many cool and fun shops, statues and sculptures on the A1A.  an especially popular trend was the manatee mailbox!  notice the boy/girl pair below.

garden of eden indeed!

 

blue skies, blue waters

blue skies, blue waters

this was a typical view out of the window.  it was really (truly!) gorgeous.

 

once we got back into miami we had a little bit of time before gwyn needed to be at the airport, so we stopped by the historic biltmore hotel at coral gables.  it. was. incredible.

that’s it everyone!  the end of our trip.  thanks for coming along the ride with me.  i had *such* a great time on this vacation.  my two best pals, beaches, sundresses, road trip snacks, sunshine, daily naps and long talks.  sigh.  it was amazing.

i’ll leave you with a postcard shot  :)

 

wish you were here!

wish you were here!
