we're back

cannot believe it has already been three months since we moved back to the big city, time sure does fly! well since being back i can't say a whole lot of excitement has gone on. newts been working some pretty ridiculous hours, seven days a week so that doesn't leave for too much explore time and not only that but it has been so stinkin hot here. no joke.

we did however managed to squeeze in a day trip to the beach. not exactly the crystal clear waters of jamaica or the beautiful mountains in Colorado but there was water and that my friends is a nice thing considering the heat around here lately.

because we didn't exactly think things through as far as heading to the beach during rush hour...here's what we got

we really are intelligent people...no?

walle (aka weewee) absolutely loved the ocean...and the seaweed...and the seagulls

since being back home, we have had plenty of family time! since both newts family and my family live here we usually end up seeing someone throughout the week which has been a nice treat considering just three months ago we were about four hours away

introducing...my brother-in-law! no that's not a typo, this is indeed my hubby's two in a half year old little brother and yes he is as sweet as that little face!

and to help make this day sparkle...some decor of course!
