Beach Day!

Sunday we took Madeleine to Nantasket for her first day on the beach and she LOVED it! As soon as her chubby little hands touched the sand it was in her mouth, her hair-everywhere! She loved the water and stood the cold temperature much better than her Mama does. We've been taking her to swim lessons at the Y, mostly so she can get comfortable with water and splashing around, and she did so awesome in the classes. She was always excited to be in the water and didn't fuss at all when she got it on her face, even when she dunked her little face in! She's going to be a little fishy!

Beach days take a little more planning and packing than pre-baby (tent, toys, swim diaper!) but I'm so very excited for many more in the next few months. Good thing we'll be on the Vineyard for a week starting Sunday!!

Even though the official start of summer just passed, I feel like we have been having a very busy, fun summer. We have lots of friends getting married; two weddings down and three more to go with one coming up this very weekend! I have been (mostly) keeping up with my running and yoga schedule, which has made slipping into bathing suits a lot more fun. We are using our grill every night that weather/time permits us too and eating on the back porch with the baby in her high chair has become the best warm weather ritual yet! Have I mentioned how much I love summer? And sharing it with this adorable little munchkin makes it even better.

Happy last week of June!

XoXo,
Stef

I'm engaged!!!

Yep, the love of my life, my best friend, the most handsome man that I have ever laid eyes on asked me to marry him, and of course, I said YES! I could not possibly be any more excited. I am literally bubbling over like a glass of champagne with excitement and love for absolutely everything and everyone. First and foremost, I am so elated that I am going to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life. Growing old will be void of anything dull, boring, or not completely hilarious. We are going to have beautiful babies and live happily ever after - no wicked Stepmothers, turning into vegetables, or singing mice about it - this is my fairy tale ending. Second to that is the love and support that we have been receiving from our family, friends, co-workers, and even complete strangers! Although we have been talking about getting married since we met and began our whirlwind romance, it is so exciting to shout it from the rooftops and celebrate our love with everyone. We have an amazin...

Monday night and half a bottle of riesling.

You may be asking yourself now, "why the hell does Stef need a blog, she spends too much damn time on myspace/facebook/perezhilton as it is". Well, I have one because I need one. I get writers cramp too bad to keep a journal, and I can drink and type with much more ease. But really, I think this will be a good way to organize my thoughts, and keep my scattered friends better posted on my life. When your closest friends span from Seattle to Spain, it can be hard to keep them up to the minute on the important things in life - like what I'm doing on any given Monday night. (The answer tonight is sitting on the couch watching the Red Sox, while Matty reads the Augusten Burroughs book I just finished, having just ate a super yummy "smothered pork chop" dish that said Matty made, and applying for jobs at the Crime and Justice Institute). I really just plan on rambling on about my life, and sharing things that I think you ought to know like if Matty and I went for a bi...

Good-Bye Green Line

Tonight is officially my last night as an Allstonian. Or a Brightonian. I won't even live off the green line after I wake up tomorrow morning. No more 45 minute train rides that stop every block, no more "This train will run express to Packard's Corner". Tomorrow when I wake up I will pack the cat into his carrier, grab my purse and my husband will drive me and this baby in my belly to Dorchester, to our home, where we will have our first baby, our first wedding anniversary, where we will be "mom and dad" for the first time instead of just "husband and wife" or "Stef and Matty". I will use the vacuum cleaner Matty bought last night, the first new vacuum cleaner I have ever owned in my twenty nine years, and I will hang up pictures from our wedding, our trips to other states and time zones, pictures of our friends and our families. And on Monday I will wake up and catch the Red Line into work. It won't take too long, despite being fart...
