Twirling!

This is Willow and her new tutu. She is going to take ballet lessons this summer so that's all she talks about! She likes to wear her tutu all the time, and we play ballet class and I teach her nothing, since let's face it I don't know ballet, but she thinks I'm teaching her something when I stand on my tip toes and twirl around!

This is her twirling photo shoot:









Isn't it great to find a skirt that will twirl?
I think it's the agenda of every little girl!

I cannot get enough of this song!!!

The Incredible Edible Avocado

Avocadoes have to be one of my favorite foods in this world. I am discovering more and more things that they taste good on or with....

-On toast or bagel as a spread, alone, like butter!
-On burritos with black beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream, tomato, salsa, cheese, or any combination of these.
-On veggie pizza, add after taken out of oven when ready to eat.
-On top of any salad.
-In tortilla soup.
-On top of a rice dish that my friend Nichole invented. It's brown or white rice topped with a mixture of stewed diced tomatoes with chlis, yellow corn, and peaches ( I know it sounds weird but it's a delish combination!)... On top of all that some sour cream and avocado! It's one of my favorite meals.
-On wheat thins.
-Even by itself, scrumptious and wholesome and filling!

Louisville Houses

I love driving around or walking around the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville and seeing all the great houses, some majestic mansions full of "old money," some less fancy but not without their own unique richness and charm....

What I did today...

Woke up and had the Aunt Nancy's egg special for breakfast...
Watched the view. Michael J Fox was on talking about his new book and show Adventures of an Incurable Optimist. He is such an amazing person! To be dealing with the illness that he has with such dignity and grace and optimism and happiness, is inspirational.
Did laundry, made the bed, other various house-wifey things...
Went to work.

Today I just had to watch John Henry.... so we played some flying baby games,











































and watched Marley & Me (well I watched while he napped). It was a lot better than I expected it to be. Really cute and relatable... and...I think I want a dog now!





















After the movie we took a walk around the neighborhood and looked at all the gorgeous and unique houses that you just don't notice as much when you're driving in the car. Somedays I can really see us living down here!

Fallingwater

While in PA for said wedding, we went to see the Frank Lloyd Wright house FALLINGWATER. What is Fallingwater you ask? Here the answer from the website: "

Fallingwater is the name of a very special house that is built over a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s most famous architect, designed the house for his clients, the Kaufmann family (they were the proprietors of Kaufmann Dept stores, now part of the Macy's chain). Fallingwater was built between 1936 and 1939. It instantly became famous, and today it is a National Historic Landmark."
