{eloise in her sun hat. my heart melts.}

this weekend flew by – did it for you too? while my days felt similar to that of the week since we are on the same feeding schedule, it was so great to have aaron home to keep us company! we are gearing up for a string of hot days & it has definitely been warm in the house so eloise & I are spending a lot of time downstairs in the nursery where it is cool. we had a few visitors stop by the house this weekend – so great to see everyone! – & have aaron’s parents coming into town this week!

how was your weekend?

this was our first full weekend as a family & boy was it a great one! my mom is still in town & it has been so nice to have an extra set of hands around. the weather was a little hotter than I would have liked, but since our nursery is in the basement, it is much more tolerable. we stayed around the house & tried to get things organized {I definitely owe you an update on the house!} & even managed to get some sleep! today also marked eloise’s first full week – the longest, craziest, best week ever! how was your weekend?

as many of you know from calls, text, or instagram, {or have guessed from the radio silence} we have a brand-new addition to our family!

we would love to officially {albeit belatedly} introduce our daughter to the interwebs!

welcome to the world eloise!
