LPW

we welcomed a new member to our tribe!!!

our besties, kathryn & brian welcomed (lyric's lil sis)

their perfect baby girl, lily parker williams on march 1st.

the eggplant parmigiana at scalinis really worked!

 

kathryn is so brave & i am beyond proud of her.

look at her just glowing hours after a wild, all natural birth.

 

look at this perfect little lady.

my friends seriously make the cutest babies.

rjh was really feeling lpw's presence in the tub 

the night before she was born.

 

oh sweet lily, we love you so much!

tess latain lozano

it is with great joy i present baby tess!

tess took her sweet time, baking

away in tara's tummy for two extra weeks

& made her debut on july 19th at 4:05am.

yum! tess weighed in at a healthy 9.1oz 

& 21.5 inches long.

i think she looks like jeff w/ tara's beautiful bow lips.

my love & pride & awe for tara is too much to handle.

she is already the most loving & affectionate mother.

tara has always had such a defined warmth about her.

i remember feeling it the minute i met her at 

my freshman orientation at wcu in 2003.

i'm beyond thrilled to be a part of this 

excellent adventure with the lozano's!

in love. xo

west egg.

i just love west egg.

it's one of my all time favorite places to eat.

a few weeks ago we got a few pals together to

celebrate jared's 30th birthday!

slim & i. 

he's ridiculously handsome, i know.

david & his precious little family, nikki & charlie..

table decor.

lea, right before she left for a velvet party.

yes, velvet.

the birthday boy.

re-group.

slim & i went out last weekend & caught up 

with our besties at auguestine's in grant park.

*heather was there for a quick second

& jared was at the farm. we missed both of them

lea, me. raffy & tara jane.

raf has been so busy traveling for work lately,

and has been in california & ny and obviously 

felt like she was being attacked by paparazzi.

some solid angry faces.. lea's doing a whole30..

i was being angry with her for moral support...

and slim's just a bit confused i think?

cheers to friends & laughs & smells of trash.

i had a prosecco slurpee. raf had a run & coke slurpee. 

it was SO delicious- but filled with sugar

& i had a tummy ache for hours.

it was a very hot pink night- color coordinated

slurpee & envelope clutch.

(clutch from gap)

best friends.

did you ever have those best friend necklaces

with the heart cut in two? i  love them. i always 

wanted the first part of the words... the second part

just didn't seem right to me...

check out all the innovative ways to show your bestie you care..

found all of these on etsy.

peanut butter jelly time for all my camp pals.

milk & cookies for my cookie monster bff raffy.

phone date gals, for my tara jane.

perfect for my nantucket loving best pal, say say.

my fabulous cori would totally rock this.

i think she'd be the poo & i'd be the pee...

just because we work together & share too much &

we're totally weird like that.

this is perfect for me & my beautiful sisters.

of course i'm in the middle... the sweetest one.
