Mathilda in horse show.

Wesley is a tough horse to control. MJ had a great time, though!!

The white house update.

Things are moving along at the white house. Sheet rock up and front windows in. Tile getting started soon. I am excited about all the Ikea coming in.


How the front is shaping up.

That top window will come out. Simplify.

Dioscuri wall fixture for by front doors. Recognize these? I have them on the pool house.

House numbers from Chiasso.

Front yard. Ball box woods of different sizes. Fun! Yes?

Sawyer porch chair.

Porch planter. With ball boxwood?

School's out beach trip. 2012

Another school year has gone by and we all headed over to Dune Allen Florida to celebrate the beginning of summer. We love this tradition we seem to have created with some amazing friends. The friendship bracelet factory was in full force. The meals more delicious with each passing day. The Clark boat was rocking. The weather just perfect, with sunny, breezy days and the water temperature...well, just right. 

All was just right! Some spectacular surf.

Most of the kids on the beach with the magic light. Wow, they are all growing up quite nicely.

Some twister, sister.

Nico catches fish food.

One fish.

Two fish. (red fish, blue fish?)

A walk on the beach with my sweetie.

Mathilda tries out the paddle board. Great fun for all!!

Drippy castles and conversation.

Mose is beached.

Hutch and Nico are vintage cute.

Mathilda enjoys the show at the Seaside amphitheater.

Slumming and sunning in Seaside.

Until next year....

Last day of school 2012!

Very happy day.

Once On This Island. MJ as Villager #5

Lusher Middle School Drama Troupe performed the musical "Once On This Island" recently. Kind of like The Little Mermaid. It was a great show. Mathilda was Villager #5 and a Gossiper. She was awesome, I have to say, especially as the gossiper :) She even got to sing a few solo lines and was the right headlight of a 6 person car, hee, hee! Very entertaining!!!

A lot of singing!!

Samyra, the lead, was amazing!!

A little dancing, too.

Very proud!!

Mose does Skakespeare. Who knew?

Jazz Fest moments 2012

It was another great fest full of yummy food, great friends, awesome family and a few beautifully placed clouds. Have to say, Gomez, Florence and the Machine, Bonnie R, and my pool, were my fav's this year ;)

All my heart

Josh and I passed our 15th wedding anniversary recently. We have a tradition of giving each other art on our anniversary. It always falls somewhere around Jazz Fest, so the Contemporary crafts always make these purchases a little easier.

This year, first weekend, I bought this heart/lace tattoo/sewing for Josh. Since he has my heart forever and always. Made by Theresa Honeywell.

LePage bathroom renovations

"Not my house" is my mantra, but still trying to make this rental look great without spending too much.

Inspiration for my studio bath

Like this vanity idea...

Sweet.

Love.

Mose's Bar Mitzvah Project

Mose has been volunteering at The Miracle League on Saturdays this spring. This is a field at the New Carrollton baseball park at Riverview/The Fly that is especially designed for wheelchairs and children with disabilities. It is for mentally and physically challenged children who want to play baseball. Mose is a very active baseball fanatic so this project is perfect for him. His buddy's name is Kameron and they have been having lots of fun out there.

Hanging out and waiting for their turn.
