happy hump day!

dear weekend,

it's been three days since we parted ways and, well ... i miss you. each minute that passes without you is agonizing. i know we don't have anything special planned, but i am so excited to see you again!

summer lovin

two things i love most about the summertime this year ...

... this dress and mailey's new little brother!

when i walked in the door last tuesday evening, i was greeted by this little guy. he has no blood relation to mailey, but he looks like her mini me. we named him general omar bradley or the general, omar or obie for short. over the past year or so, mailey has really calmed down. she does a lot of laying around the house and backyard. omar is having none of that ... he hangs on her collar and just follows her around, playfully biting at her neck. we are having to get used to the constant "go time" attitude that comes with our little man.

as for this dress - i bought this for a backyard wedding and have fallen in love. i paid $14 at h&m and i have already gotten my monies worth. hello breezy cotton maxi dress ... and hello summer!!!
