Liam is here!













Liam Jodie Neilson. 
My big brother David's first son. 
He's so chill. 
He's got a lot to give already. 
He's going to be happy, and blessed, and smart, and funny.
He's already making funny faces.
He's perfect. 
and so very special.
I love him. 

He was born in Seattle on Sunday, November 21st with all his toes, and all his fingers. 

LOVE. love. LOVE.

saturday's details



hat: urban outfitters
blazer: thrifted vintage
tie dye cardigan: target
skirt: thrifted
oxfords: target

It was so windy at gasworks park! Like, "ladies and gentlemen hold on to your hats"
type of windy...because mine literally flew off. It was so funny. 
There's a picture sequence to prove it, but I'm too embarrassed to share those. :)
Also, I fell a little bit. I was quite a clumsy sight atop that sunshine hill. 
We got really chilly... we weren't there long. So we hopped in the car, and Dan Dan 
drove us, because we mostly suck at navigating.
 p.s. isn't Jean Marie so cute?!





You can't turn a corner on pike place, without someone singing Dylan or creedence clearwater. The gentleman with the flowing locks next to Jeanie, did his thing while we stood in line forever at the original starbucks. I sang with him a little.  

Everything was really normal and comforting the other day in the city. The innumerable northface sightings, the crazies, the gospel street singers, the boots, the fish smell, the protesters, the child leashes, the beards, and the art students that are obviously art students, as evidenced by their very short bangs, the holiday decor, the coffee shops, etc. We had fun.  



after some downtown time and shopping, we met up with our other sibs, and had a dinner date at tap house. I tried the seattle roll, and crab bisque soup. The crab bisque was fantastic, by the way. very rich. Sarah recommended it, and now I do too.






Hooray for cousins, and friends, and memories.

cuz






 I wouldn't mind wearing red everyday. 

My cousin Jean Marie is visiting from new mexico! We love her. 
Everyday of her thanksgiving visit is planned out.


She's never been to the northwest and we love to host. 
Tomorrow is the seattle day. So we're gonna hit all the normal hot spots. 


I plan on sharing those photos...plus some crafting moments, 
some holiday preparation, annnnd my baby nephew is due in just a few days...
I can't wait to meet him, and fall in love with him.












hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some bonus discoveries, musings, and/or interests 
alongside my busy family time, on this here bloggity blog in the next few days. 


Have a tasty Saturday. Eat some delicious treats, or something.

mid-week moments








a few mid-week moments. 

P.s. my sister Amy received 2 handsome scholarships for grad school. 
20 thousand bucks.
We're so proud of her. so we celebrated. 
I keep telling her it's like she went on chopped & won twice, without even cooking.
 seriously... I've literally said that joke more than once. 

uh oh, Kayla.
