best doctors around...

had dinner tonight with these friends.  love them!  but mostly for their kids ;)

honestly, these two kiddos are a kick.  i walked into the room with these kids checking shawn's pulse, looking in his ears and listening to his heart.  glad he passed their test and i bring him home!

LOVing what i am learning and get to do!

pisa in the park.

if you are heading to italy, pisa is a fun little place the tower is especially great for getting creative with the pictures.

it only takes a moment but walk around and you'll see everyone posing for their camera, standing with their hands up creating the illusion in a picture that they are holding up the tower. as they were holding their hands up to the air, shawn dared me to run around giving high-5's to the people posing.  This guy knew it was coming and grabbed my hands so I couldn't get away.  Left Shawn and I laughing pretty hard.

we spent a lot of time going for one of my traditional jumping shots in front of the tower but just couldn't quite get it right.  we did almost break our ankles jumping off these cement barriers again and again.  but no luck.  these were the winners we did get.

we ended sitting in the grass just looking up at the tower while relaxing in its shadow.

a book 'n a couch.

dear s&m,
your smiles say it all.

love,
sunday afternoons
