mini vacation

b, bailey, and i packed up the car and headed north for a few days. we met b's parents, sister-in-law, and our adorable niece and nephew in st. germain, wisconsin. it was SO nice to have a few days away from the office, studio, and relax with family.

the beautiful view from our backyard

firepit

love this little character!!

b and roman

 bailey was such a good girl. ..and didn't mind getting some of roman's meals :-)

 my niece, sephra. she's at such a fun age and oh so happy.

 bailey's bed worked out better for sephra, than bailey. it fit her perfectly and she loved it.

we're hoping to get to
-chicago
-minneapolis/ eau claire
-door county
all within the next two months. fall is our favorite season to travel and we have a few things to get done and family to see before things pick up!!

wiww- silly las vegas edition

b and i [finally] went on our honeymoon this year. my lovely sis-in-law got us a great deal on a trip to las vegas, where we stayed at the flamingo.

while on vacation..
-i decided i will never leave bailey for more than 3 days in a row. i was a nervous wreck with her away from us. i know, i know she's just a dog- but she's like a child to me.
-hotel pillows really gross me out, i think i'll bring along a really puffy fleece jacket or something next time.
-i trust strangers way too much.
-going out to eat is definitely my favorite thing to do!! if i could only find a job that required me to go out to eat and craft with children with autism i would be in heaven. i'll start working on that?? :-)

 love my new purchase from the kate spade outlet. i could spend a few paychecks in this store.

 the next two pictures are the reason for the "silly" title. i was in a strange mood most of the trip and was determined to get a few wiww pictures in; regardless if they were a little odd.
