We went to the pool.
 |
| (Yawn.) |
We took a walk.
 |
| (Yep, I married him.) |
We saw pretty flowers.
We ate dinner together at our favorite restaurant. I love having a special place where we've celebrated birthdays, our engagement, and Ellie's homecoming. Both Matt and I have trouble straying from our favorites on the menu, but we always take time to read through all the dishes, then get the same old thing. My meal of choice is a crepe with salmon. Amazing.

This is the first time we've taken a blue duck out to eat at our special place.

I'm getting to be the age at which one doesn't advertise the year of their birth. But I also was full of joy watching the kids play this weekend, and thankful Ellie will grow up with many other little ones her age around.
Ellie has a lot of little friends being born and on their way these days. Wouldn't name blocks make good gifts for all these cute new little babies? Amber from Gallery Eleven is giving one lucky reader a set of name blocks from her Etsy shop.
You have two choices:
 |
| (The product photo has a pretty good name. Close...) |
 |
| (This set has cute owls. Hoot!) |

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Megs! You and Matt are so cute (and it goes without saying that Ellie is ADORABLE in that pool photo!).
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie!
ReplyDeleteIn my childhood bedroom, I was allowed to decorate it however I choose, so for many years, my walls were sponge painted many shades of blue, with silver aluminum foil looking electrical tape for the "border."
(my mom was a brave and accepting woman!)
Also, Miss Ellie, I have already "liked" your facebook page!
ReplyDeleteI also added the etsy shop to my favorites! Cute stuff!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Ellie, tell your mom I wish her a very happy (belated) birthday! I love the picture of the two of you by the window. Precious!
ReplyDeleteI liked Ellie's FB page!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. One thing I remember from my childhood room was the lavender paint on the walls and my matching white and purple bedset!
ReplyDeleteFollowing gfc,one thing I remember about my childhood room was my first big girl desk. My mom got it so we could work on homework (I shared a room with my sister for a while) but I remember wanting to decorate it- putting my piggy bank, a flower on it. It drove my mom nuts.
ReplyDeleteI faved the shop!
ReplyDeleteI liked on facebook and forgot to say in previous comment that I like the custom name canvas!
ReplyDeletei follow via GFC, my room was decorated in Strawberry Shortcake (the old school 80's one) until I was about 12!
ReplyDeletei would love to have the wood blocks or the canvas, so so cute!
ReplyDeletei liked ellies fb page
ReplyDeleteellie, we both follow your blog and are fans of yours on facebook. if only we could know you in person! your mom's updates are a pretty great substitute, as i feel like i'm getting to know you and your sweet, adventurous personality.
ReplyDeletethe biggest memory from my room growing up is my "princess bed" which turns out was a $40 used daybed my parents scored when i was in elementary school. i seriously felt like a princess and couldn't believe my parents got it for me.
i sure love those owl name blocks. we find out next week if we are having a girl or boy come december, and they would be pretty sweet in a little girl's room!
Um... is it too late? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the owls!! My Ellie is obsessed with owls. In fact, I already bought her big girl room bedding that is retro owl themed because I was afraid that by the time I actually needed it, it would be sold out!
