Anticipating the fun stuff

So typically I journal the goings-on around our house and there is much to be done this summer. I am looking forward (sort of) to landscaping the yard and organizing our basement...but in the meantime,

here's what I am REALLY excited about...

******************

Looking forward to reading...

Oprah by Kitty Kelly

(excellent pool-side literature, I can just tell!)

Looking forward to seeing...

Sex and the City 2 (oh, the clothes!)

Looking forward to watching...

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

(I am equal opportunity with the Bravo Housewives franchise

but when it comes to Jersey...is it bad to want to be friends with them?!)

Looking forward to listening to...

Encores by Jimmy Buffett (and counting down the days to our Labor Day concert)

Looking forward to visiting with...

The Civiello Family (over at Maine Living)

Looking forward to helping out with...

my sister's wedding planning (the dress, the cake, the favors, I really do love it all)

Looking forward to a great summer!

Yard Prep

We'll be landscaping this...I want boxwoods.

I cannot wait to get potted plants for the porch, but I am being a "good gardener" and will wait for Mother's Day Weekend to avoid any frosts. Hurry up May!

Ross's toy :)

Last September Ross spent a weekend removing 16 very overgrown bushes from around the perimeter of our house (I went to Williamsburg with my mom...we've found that when "we" need to do big projects that cause lots of mess...it's better if I'm not home:). This weekend Ross is spreading dirt and then will seed so that we can have grass. Yay! We are definitely getting ready for spring planting and growing and all the possibilities...

(I stuck around for this project...except for a quick trip down Main Street for lunch and a Lilly Pulitzer skirt and cute jewelry at Lavalier...hey, a girl's gotta keep busy...)

Welcome to the world Shelby Fisher!

Easter Sunday ended with a visit to the hospital to meet our niece, Shelby. She is adorable! We're looking forward to making lots of wonderful memories with her.

Happy Easter!
