Remembering what's important...

Today I spent with family. Drove to my parents' house in the morning, where my aunt Senada, my cousins Neira and Budo, and of course, my sisters and my parents were waiting. They went on a big shopping spree yesterday and brought some goodies for me, too. My mom picked for me some beautiful clothes at the Gap. Love them! My sweet sisters bought me a long coveted Longchamp bag. Thank you mama, tata & sisters! I'm very grateful, but you really shouldn't have. Having you as my family is gift enough.

Then cousins, sisters and I headed to Grey's lake for a nice long walk, had some iced tea outside Starbucks while listening to a street performer, and then caught a show at the Science Center (IMAX). Afterwards we had a great lunch at my parents' house, and even got to Skype with some family members in the "old" country. :)

At home, my dear hubby and I continued to clean and organize. We are donating a lot of good stuff to the Disabled American Veterans. It's amazing how much stuff people acquire over a few years. We definitely want to downsize and simplify our lives. Plus, we are making some room in our home. Most of you know why, but others are free to guess. :)

Rockin' Robins

Tonight I had dinner with the girls from my MBA program. It's been a year since I last saw them, so it was really nice to catch up. These gals are busy!

Say hello to Frankie

Just finished knitting this little monster, and I love him!

Sweetness galore

Hello world!

Air!

I've been missing in action lately when it comes to everything blog, but there is a good reason for that (more on that in another post). Our house is in absolute disarray, but hubby and I have been diligent. We installed some ultra groovy fans in a couple of rooms where there were no fans before. I'm in love with these new helicopters.

Office breeze

Craft room/guest room/future nursery now also comes with air

Where are the strings you pull to turn on/off lights, change fan settings? Why, these babies come with remotes that you mount on the wall. Swoon!

I'm spoiled

Late summer

Today was nice. I've gotten rid of an old dresser via Craigslist, and hubby and I got some house work done. A few highlights from today:

Yay for late summer!

Mo' Wall Art

I received beautiful prints of the pacific coast (Oregon) from my dear friend Belma and immediately put them on the most prominent wall in our living room, right above our fireplace.

She has got an eye for photography. Thank you Belmich! You are very talented.
