summer is the new spring

what a weekend! mugi and i headed out to ct on saturday. it was the nicest weather. we sat on the porch for the rest of saturday and the patio all of sunday. it's nice to have a little escape like that and i am so lucky that my parents have a great little spot a mere hour and half away.

it was a busy few days full of siblings, nephews, grandma, uncle, old family friends, new friends and three dogs...whew! it was a lot, but in such a good way.

since i come from a large family we try and make every event cover multiple birthdays/holidays. this visit was easter/april birthdays. so, we had a, m and myself! we had cakes, cookies and brownies. i blew out my first birthday candles with my grandma by my side. it was super fun.

my grandma is an incredibly special person. i adore her. she is amazingly strong and has not had an easy life. she is in her 80s and still works a 40 hour work week as a receptionist. she is incredibly inspirational. we have such a good time together. when i arrived in ct there she was at the train station waiting for me. we each had a glass of wine on the porch and then i declared that i wanted to go to target. she was the only one who said she would go. we had so much fun perusing all of the target treasures. something about target if you live in the city. it's a treat to go and actually shop in one!

hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather!!!
