my speakeasy.

doing a little bit of back tracking...

i have the best friends.

last december they threw me a

roaring 20's themed birthday party

to celebrate my 30th birthday.

so long 20's, you've been fabulous.

it was such an amazing week.

and had a fabulous party to welcome

the holiday season!

it will be hard to beat last december!

growing.

we've got a 9.5 pounder!

our rory jane had her two months checkup.

she's almost doubled her birth weight

(not exactly, but i like the way that sounds) 

and took 3 shots like a boss.

she's a petite little peanut- in the 8th percentile for her weight

 but she is gaining like she's preparing for fight night!

watching her grow & loving on her everyday is pure magic. 

we are simply the luckiest.

captiva island, florida.

every summer we go to the beach

with jim's family.

we flew for the first time this year &

 i'll just say i did not miss the 10 hour drive.

i'm not sure i'll ever drive again....

i was 6 months pregnant this year.

this is the trolly- our niece & nephews love it.

it's a nice ride & the breeze is very welcomed.

slim catches amazing sunsets.

it's also nice to travel with your own personal paparatzi!

we finally ate jets this year...

hot dogs & frozen candy bars.

he comes by the beach every day, we've

always been curious & this year we went for it.

(could have been my growing appetite?)

beach flower & belly.

the island cow is a crazy delicious restaurant we

go to every year for dinner.

i always think this sign is so funny.

we have yet to see mr. cheeseburger in paradise..
