fourth

Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, and the major lift...

What an exciting/relaxing week this has been!  Yes those two have occurred simultaneously and beautifully this week.  Paul and I saw fireworks and friends, went to the pool, grilled hotdogs, took naps, ate seafood, went to the zoo and saw: baby monkeys, wallabies, snakes, and a rolling stones tribute band, and worked/cleaned/lived a normal boring life in between.  :) I sure love him and this wonderful week we have had.  Our dear friends Meredith and Dan celebrated their birthdays last week along with America and Alton celebrates his tomorrow!  Next to October 1st-Jan 1st, this has to be my favorite time of year.  So many birthdays, sunny days, pedicures, and Paul and I celebrate our 6th anniversary this August!  Did I say favorite time of year in THIS heat???

Something old, something new...something RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

This 4th of july was especially exciting because Staishy and I HAD to coordinate our patriotic apparel around one of the many fabulous pieces of Nanny's jewelry!  I played it cool with a simple white beaded necklace which kind of reminds me of something nautical.  I thought it paired nicely with a couple of mom's red and white bangles.  :) Staishy went bold with vintage flower clip-ons and a blue and gold beaded necklace!  So cute!  I wish we could have been together to take this pic, although it kind of looks like we were sitting at the same table over tea, huh?
