instafriday

last saturday i was honored to help with sweet mandie's baby shower. more to come on that celebration next week.

this surprise snake plant bloom is so cool. these plants rarely, if ever, flower. i may have been dancing around the living room upon discovery.

a sign you live in albuquerque: walter white's memorial service is held across the street from your neighborhood. jesse and i have not seen breaking bad, but lots of our family and friends are fans. so this ups our cool points, right?

late sunday cat naps are very sweet, but don't bode well for early bedtimes.

if i had to finish the yucky root canal treatment, at least this is the lobby view. plants make me happy.

and pruning makes me uncomfortable. but then i remember...

"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." John 15:2

they are enjoying the ability to play piano after dusk.

wednesday was our fifteen years couple-versary. thursday was our fourteen years engagement-versary. i am a sucker for anniversaries of all kinds.

we left the house on this rainy friday morning for my first classical conversations campus visit. 10 minutes in and i see my 3yo stripped down to the waist and my 8yo hiding under a table. pretty much a smashing success, don't ya think? thankfully homeschool mamas are very understanding.

when we left the building, i spotted the snake house by architect bart prince. (i don't think that is the official name - nope, it is not - but i have heard the nickname around.) i had been meaning to take the kids down this street for awhile, so we redeemed the afternoon and went exploring to get a better view. luca has decided this will be his future abode.

i am joining the nester and will be blogging every single day in october! full list of posts here.
