Weekending :: Teapots, Masala, & Family

It's hard to believe it's already the weekend again! Last weekend we spent four blissful days in Vail with our family. See all the fun here. This weekend was just as wonderful. Here is the recap. Above: My favorite teacup and teapot filled with Rishi citron oolong.

Banana muffins on vintage Norman Rockwell.

Daddy and his girls.

Lunch at our favorite Indian buffet, Kathmandu. They have the most amazing sweet potato masala. Mmmmmm...

You know how I love flags.

Kathmandu has a great little play area, so when the girls are done eating...it's ALMOST like Matt and I are on a date :)

I took a nap. Oh yes I did.

Sunday morning sunshine on my little sunshine.

After church, we met up with family in Boulder.

Uncle Dan and Lucy reading together.

Jess and the girls with their rice krispie treats :)

Scotty smiles.

Dan took the photo so I could be in a family photo more than once a year! Thanks Dan.

And the big fun of the weekend...Bella's new love of Legos. She has discovered the Lego Friends line and has been creating her little city. So fun to see her work for hours on all of her "projects".

And that was our weekend. How was yours?

Rainbows in My Mailbox

Last week I stopped in at little PO Box 1631...with the usual anticipation in my heart :) Imagine my delight when I opened up a beautifully wrapped package with these hand knit lovelies inside. My sweet friend, Khrista, sent these to me in chilly Colorado from her adorable home in Texas. Now that I have started knitting, when I receive something that was knit by a friend, it's so much more special because I now know the work that goes into it!

I wanted to take a moment to send out a HUGE thank you to all of you who have sent me heartwarming goodies over the past couple of months. I've received such amazing gifts in that little box...

*a gorgeous orange knitted scarf that I wear all the time *a colorful paper star *felted wool cup cozies *a blue glass star that hangs in my mama cave *herbal bath yummies + velour washcloths *sand from a California beach that I love *numerous gifts for the girls *tea and other edible goodies

...to all of these mailbox angels and any I have missed, thank you thank you thank you!! Your thoughtfulness means so much.
