Weekend Snapshots

Here are a few snapshots from this weekend! Enjoy!

Little Audrey Eleanor in her clothes that are way too big. At the moment, we only have about 3 outfits that really fit her, so when she spilled milk all over her last outfit (at 3am) I was scrambling to find something that fit her so we could all go back to bed. In the morning I could hear her fussing. She wasn't desperate so I let her fuss a bit (and steal a few minutes extra sleep!). Phil got up to check on her and he started cracking up. He found our poor girl with the hat over her whole face except for her mouth. She was pretty frustrated. haha Don't worry, we eventually found a hat that fits.

Afternoon cuddles and baby feet. Two of my favorite things!

I made myself a mock Moby wrap to carry Audrey in. It's awesome! More on this soon!

This weekend we celebrated Phil's Oma's 80th birthday. It was a big family to-do and I had an excuse to dress up and wear my favorite boots. It felt really good being up and out and dressed up!

I baked some cupcakes for the 4th of July and discovered my new favorite icing. It's a plum cream cheese frosting. I'd share the recipe, but really you just add 2-4 tablespoons of a jam of your choice to a regular cream cheese frosting. It's amazing. Try it.

Happy 4th of July folks! Enjoy the warmer weather and patriotic celebrations. I'll just be here in New Zealand being a little bit jealous (but not too jealous because we're still having a BBQ and cupcakes)

Speaking of which... next year, we've decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on the 4th and the 4th on Thanksgiving. I know it sounds crazy, but I like the idea. Celebrating the 4th of July in winter just seems so wrong.

P.S. - Happy 3 weeks to Audrey Eleanor! I'll post her 3 week pictures tomorrow. ♥

Our Weekend in Pictures

I love the weekends. It means I get to hang out with Phil and we get to do stuff together! Running weekend errands together is one of my very favorite things.

This weekend we made a quick day trip to Auckland to pick up a two-drawer wooden filing cabinet that we bought. We packed a lunch and were on our way! I love picnic lunches. There is just something about them.

Mr. van der Wel
(Best moustache ever)

On the way we stopped at one of the kiwifruit orchards where Phil works. We knew of a walnut tree there and wanted to see if any of this season's walnuts have fallen yet. We only found a few but they are pretty delicious.

I have a serious crush on our little car. I LOVE it!

Pretty little shed

Yum.

Soaking up the sun
(While Phil is foraging... OK, I wasn't a good helper...)

On our way to Auckland we stopped in Pokeno for ice cream. This is a huge deal for me. They have SUPER DELICIOUS ice cream for cheap. I love ice cream!!

Two scoops for me!
(Yes, I would have gotten 2 scoops even if I wasn't pregnant. I got Mint-Cookie Smash and Caramel Toffee. Sigh.)

Best ever.

What did you do this weekend?

Our Weekend In Pictures

Our weekend was amazing! I love spending time with the Mister and good friends.

On Friday evening we headed out to our friends', Sam and Pauline, so Phil could work on recording some songs. It's just a start but it's really exciting! I can't wait to share what Phil and Sam come up with. Sam and Pauline also have these two amazing fluffy cats. I really miss having a cat. I enjoyed hanging out with them too.

Sam and Peach.
(Peach liked being a part of the recording process.)

Phil recording. I love him.

Ha ha!

I love this amp.

Phil's guitar case.

We stayed the night and Pauline cooked up an incredible spaghetti dinner for us and Sam whipped up the yummiest pancakes. Speaking of which, I have a new favorite way to eat pancakes--with lemon juice and sugar on top!! Don't knock it until you try it. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it. Mmmmm!

The next morning we trekked it into town to stop by the garage sales around Cambridge. Have I mentioned that we love garage sales? Phil always finds amazing things and cool old furniture that we (he) can restore. This time was no exception, we scored. We got a dining room table and four chairs for $30! So awesome. It's going to be my craft table in my craft room (when we finish it... someday...). The extra chairs are also needed for our REAL dining room when we have extra guests. We only had four chairs. We found a vintage baby stroller that Phil is going to sand down and repaint and I'm going to make a new mattress for it! I'm really excited. It is my favorite find of the weekend. Oh yeah, we got it for $10. What a steal! I don't think I'll use it much for actual walks, but it's SO amazing none-the-less.
