SUMMER IS HERE!

the smell of grass, a cold glass of wine on the patio, frizzy hair, fresh flowers, tan lines, catching fish, farmers markets, dairy queen runs, twins games, jogs.. being outside!

Our summer is super busy but I am so excited for some of the plans we have; weddings, celebrations, weekends at the cabin, travels, amazing concerts. 

It's worth being busy when there are so many crazy amazing things on the docket. 

Also, since I'm a typical two months removed from a post - here's our life.. in bullet points:

• Charlie graduated from her Beginning Obedience Class. She placed second in her class (and was the youngest by a long shot). We're clearly super proud! 

• The puppy and I have started an amazing Saturday morning routine; wake up - cuddle - walk/run around Cleary Lake - browse the farmers market - grab some Starbucks - head home to relax. 

• Little brother is traveling in Spain! Check out his travel blog here. He's having a blast but it will be great to have him back in MN soon. 

until next time...

Our Wknd

This weekend was about as uneventful as you can get! Friday night I did some reading an fell asleep early - and when I say early, I mean early! My cuddle buddy was there - like always. Phil and I have noticed that if I'm winding down for the night with a blanket, so is Charlie. It's amazing. 

Saturday Charlie and I packed up and went over to my mom's to go for a walk with B and Bella. We traipsed through the path and Charlie did everything Bella did - smelled the same smells, took the same paths, etc. It was super cute. After our walk I ran to Starbucks for a tea and figured I would let Charlie share in my favorite indulgence as well. What is in a puppchino you may ask .. whip cream in the bottom of a cup. But honestly, who really cares what it is because it entertained this puppy for way longer than it should have!

long rest after walk + coffee

Sunday morning went went for a family walk through the neighborhood and enjoyed the 30+ degree day once again (side note: i fear these days are limited - winter will be back, she always is.) 

We watched football, rested, drank tea and went to bed early. 

thanks to mark & holly for the delicious tea!!

As always, sorry about the excess amount of pictures of my puppy - I literally can't get enough.

Have a great week!
