Roy Boy - 9 months

Shhhh...he's almost asleep.

Studio Snowpuppe

Stumbled across these amazing light fixtures today while I was checking out new shop we consign with called Dots and Loops. This is an adorable little shop in Nova Scotia and it's a good thing it's in Canada, because I would spend lots of money here. And, by the way, the people are lovely to work with too.

Anyway, Studio Snowpuppe, is a cute little company based out of The Netherlands and I'm quite infatuated with these fixtures today. Thought somebody else might gain some inspiration out of them today. Happy Labor Day weekend!

Wedding/Date Night

Jacob was in Danny and Katy's Wedding on Saturday, so I got to get all dressed up and go out for some fun. My legs hurt from dancing and I'm not even a good dancer.

And Roy got to stay home with his Grandma Klapperich and play with his toys. Everybody wins!

Carrots

Roy loves carrots, so I make it a point to have carrots in my freezer at all times.

Summer Salad

Fresh Greens

Fresh Tomatos (from Amy's Garden)

Gorgonzola crumbles

Walnuts

Raspberry Balsamic Vinegarette dressing (AllSpice)

This weekend...

...we went to ALLSPICE to taste tested some amazing vinegar and oil combinations...

...and threw an East-side Party in honor of the Iowa State Fair. (Yes, that is a cake made of hoho and twinkies. And yes, those are chicken nuggets on toothpicks.)

Roy Boy - 8 months

Roy learned how to clap and say 'dadda' since my last post. He doesn't really know who dadda is, but he lights up when Jacob or I walk in the room. Our little crawler has also been very busy exploring the last few weeks. We are currently working on not crawling up the stairs and not touching the tv. Roy also loves music. I've caugh Jacob playing his harmonica while he's feeding him to keep his attention and he's facinated with our guitar so much that he'll climb on top of the guitar case when it's put away. (By the way, the sofa in the pictures is one my favorite pieces of furniture I have ever owned! I had to sell it to make room for UrbanPosture stuff. Leslie moved to Brooklyn last month and I've been busy trying to find a place for everything.)
