summer sweet times

I haven't taken too many photos of all of the family visits. So, in a few words, I just wanted to note how lovely it has been, since Orion was born, to have the different family parts visit the tri-state area. It is always nice to share a few moments with my family on my turf. It has been fun, fam!!

I have (of course) taken several photos of this little one, however.

farm fresh

We joined a CSA this year. It is my first experience being a member of a farm and I have to say, I just love it! Tuesdays are delivery days and we get a long message from our Organic Farmer, updating us on the crops and what will come for the share this week. We are getting so many delicious vegetables and it is a wonderful challenge to eat them up during the week. Swiss Chard, Kohlrabi, Bok Choy, Cucumbers, Squash, Beets, Peas, Herbs, Lettuce, Kale...some of the yummies we received in the last few weeks. After you pay for your share for 22 weeks, you end up saving so much money on organic veggies. And seriously, there is nothing better than 'literally just picked' swiss chard. I Love my CSA!!

I am also doing my own gardening...smaller scale than usual but I am still getting out there. And look, my first tomatoes!

Happy weekend!

June babies

I got to meet my new nephew Orion this weekend. He is still at the hospital with mom and dad but Brooklyn bound tomorrow. The little chubby cheeks are just too much. He is precious, sweet, and truly a love bug. Now, I just need to meet Nolan.

may was lovely

I got to travel to Berkeley in time to celebrate graduation with Laura. Before the celebration, we snuck away for a little while to explore Point Reyes and the sweet towns along the way. Other highlights including eating Cheese Board pizza on Indian Rock at sunset and Thai brunch (finally!). I also hosted with my sisters and moms for Holly's baby shower. I was socializing and hosting so much that I didn't get to snap many photos but we had a lovely day with all of the ladies. On the way back from RI, Mike stopped off the highway and found a healthy snack for me. We ate it on the deck at the cottage. One hour of staring at the ocean from that porch is just bliss. I can't wait for Summer!
