Mama's Apron Debut

Have you heard the rumors of my mom's aprons? Well they are adorable and their debut will be soon. Lucky you, you get a sneak preview. These are a few of my pictures of Benjamin modeling the boy version of her aprons.

Books, Babies, and Brilliant Music

I know I am enjoying Summer when I find myself reading these words, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." For those of you who aren't fans of Jane Austen, this is the opening line to Pride and Prejudice. Every year I have to revisit my favorites: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. Am I just such a girl or what? One year for my birthday, my dear Mother bought the complete works for me so I wouldn't have to borrow Steph's copy anymore. Instead of getting the same one that Steph has, she bought me this huge book that is bright red, heavier than a small child, and as ornate as an old family Bible. Thus it has been dubbed "The Jane Austen Bible." It's an absolute treasure, but too embarassing to actually read it in public.

Last night Andrea, Rebecca, and Teresa all joined me in a Sister Party at my apartment. This morning we got a call from Stephanie with the results of her ultrasound. She put Benjamin on speaker phone so he could tell us whether the baby will be a boy or girl. His message - "She's a boy." Haha, nice. She's actually a girl.

On the 29th, back in May, I went with my parents and friends to see Foreigner, Kansas, and Styx. Here are my disjointed thoughts:

1. Amazing. Incredible. 
2. I can't even begin to share all of my favorite songs, but I just about died when Kansas performed Dust in the Wind. At that point I was only 10 feet from the stage. It was beautiful. 
3. Foreigner was fantastic. A lot higher energy than Kansas and so so entertaining. The lead vocalist just decided to climb up the side of the lighting supports and was right above us. If he had fallen we would've been crushed - that's how close we were! 
4. Styx! They really know how to put on a show. Come Sail Away couldn't have been better, and Lady was perfect, just perfect.

Ugh, there's so much more that's been going on, but I don't have the pictures...sorry!
