suburbia - installment 4 (actually week 6)


clearly i fell a little behind on our weekly updates. oops!

honestly, with nia running, jumping, climbing, falling, spilling, throwing, crying, screaming, coloring, drinking (milk + water, obvi!) bathing, rocking, digging, ripping, rolling, typing, and worming we have zero alone time. these update emails are just about the only emails we get a chance to write. 

today is our 6 year wedding anniversary. stuart is working today + i'm catching up on mass amounts of laundry. romance, certainly not. i did manage a sweet lunch of grilled cheese, string beans and strawberry + soy milk smoothies with nia and a leisurely 4 minute babble infused telephone conversation with stuart.  however, we got dressed up and went out last night to terrapin in rhinebeck (where we got married) to celebrate. i fell asleep on the car ride home at 10:30pm. i guess growing old together is happening NOW.

easter was fun + family filled. http://beevans.tumblr.com/  we did egg coloring good friday + sunday dinner at my aunts house, with the other 28 members of our family. this week i'm weeding out the leftover easter candy stockpiles by squishing the reese's eggs and deeming them "too messy to eat" and sending the rest off with stuart to work. 

my excitement levels for a house of our own has reached a new peak, and is obviously evident to everyone around me; the easter bunny left us 'this old house' and 'kitchen makeovers' magazines in our easter baskets. my "ideas + inspiration"  folder is so jam-packed that i had to create sub folders of 'cabinets', 'floors' and 'wall ideas'. and i'm afraid to sign into one kings lane for fear that i will max out our credit card. 

as mentioned in a previous update, the po'town galleria just got a new funky fresh sephora store. pretty nice having a nyc go-to make up store nearby. i left with two new make up brushes; one for blush and one for powder foundation. i decided to finally go beyond my staple liquid stick blush and whether it due to stress, country air or the fact that i kiss my baby a thousand times a day, my skin isn't as flawless as it used to be. bummer. 

love + terrific weather,
L
