~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~
{pretty}
Seven very pretty girls on Memorial Day... It was so nice to spend some time with my friend Trina and her family (she just had baby #9!) while they were in town for the weekend. Our little Twinkle Toes was very excited to see her godparents, and we especially loved being able to spend some time with our goddaughter!

They were all very happy when the boys finally got the fire going so we could roast marshmallows!
{funny}
Looking a little more closely at this picture, which I had just snapped quickly before enjoying "just one" s'more, made me realize that Hubby wasn't kidding when he said "let me know if I didn't get all the grass off of that marshmallow"... Nice!
I took the kids and our sweet goddaughter (who just had a birthday!) out for ice cream at a little local ice cream parlor. The "single scoop" cones for $1.50 were nearly as big as Rose's head!

The kids had so much fun playing The Settlers of Catan together with their godsister! (We have the add-on extension so that 5-6 people can play at the same time.) It was a REAL close game, with Captain winning by just one turn.
Also quite real was the increase on the scale after a weekend of eating out and celebrating Pentecost (though I did pass on the cake!) and Memorial Day. Hopefully after another day or two of eating healthy and exercising I will be back down to last Friday's weight, which had been a new post-partum low since December, and not blow it again next weekend!
