We're Baaaaack!
Bartles and James
We're home, back from a long, tourist-y type weekend in Edinboro. We did all of the usual vacation stuff--drove around the Peninsula, spent an afternoon at the beach, wandered the Erie Zoo, had a bonfire in my parents' backyard and roasted marshmallows and hotdogs, ate at Taki's, ate at Serafini's, ate at the VFW Club, ate too much, were eaten by mosquitos, had a drink at the Edinboro Hotel Bar, etc.
Spent a little while clicking at blogs last night, catching up on all of the things that I've missed: some beautiful Sunday Scribblings, passionate artwork, funny stories. I'm eager to curl up in a chair and immerse myself in all of them . . . but not today . . . too many appointments.
Maybe tonight?

You know. I never realized I hadn't seen lou yet? He's such a little cutie and man he looks like he's 22. It's not fair men always look young. I loved these pictures and am so happy you are all home safe and sound AND had a wonderful time to boot.
Awesome!

I love seeing your pretty face Cate! Your boys look so much like their daddy. (= Sounds like a great getaway weekend, so nice to be with family.
That pic of you and your Dad really warms my heart. Your interlocking fingers and relaxed casualness. I just love it.
That sounds like such a wonderful weekend and I LOVE the photos!! You and your family are beautiful!
Family is the best.. I'm glad you all got to spend time with them - it's always time well spent.
I loved the photos too - and the caption above the top one cracked me up. LOL!!
Sounds like a wonderful trip!
I loved the pic of you and your dad.
How nice of you to share your family! You look so perfect. Are you boys names really bartles and james...after the alcohol? Isn't there wine coolers out there! I may be crazy...no, I am crazy.
And Lou...WOWZA...he is HOT! And you are on FIRE...so that is what makes him so HOT. I better stop now, before you never talk to me again. Really glad to hear you had a great time. Nice to "meet" your dad too!
love seeing all your smiling faces...sounds like you had a wonderful weekend!!
but selfishly, i am glad you are back my dear. :)
How fun!! And just look at your boys, all so darn cute!
:)
Hi Cate! I just love the way you look... that's a new hair right? I'm soooo envious and so glad to see you back!!!

How fun to see your smiling faces. I have a little guy like yours that seems to smile until his face threatens to crack open! :)
You guys are so cute and young! And the crazy big grin on your older son is awesome. Bet he keeps things interesting!
you all look spent but happy- great to have you back!
ps I have a little James too!
Sounds like a wonderful soul-nourishing great time. Such a pretty and affectionate family.
Great pictures -- you all look so HAPPY!!!
Adorable Pictures, just so cute! I am glad you are back and had a good time.
I am glad to see you surrounded by such happiness! Home with heart gives us space to be fully who we are!
Just discoverd your blog, and love it. look forward to reading more.

Andrea,
I know! I know! What the hell. It's so unfair, how men maintain the youthful glow! Or, if they do age, it's considered distinguished! SNORT! Oh well, I agree! My man is a cutie! xo
Kiki,
Thank you for your kind words! It was wonderful being around the family! My boys definitely have their dad's eyes! No mailman involved here! HA!
Tara,
Thank you for that lovely comment! I really appreciate it!
Jennifer,
You know how I feel about your comment. Thank you so much! xo
Deb,
Thank you, thank you! I've so enjoyed the photos that YOU have shared in your SP series! xo
Holli,
Thank you. I agree about spending time with family--I love how moved to be close to yours! That's a girl who puts her money where her mouth is (aw, cliche again!). Thanks for the "nod" for Bartles and James!
Jason,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your words about the picture of me and my dad! I hope you had a great weekend, too!
Bec,
I'm screaming with laughter over your comment! My boys are not Bartles and James (well, one of them is James but the other is most certainly not Bartles), though I'm sure that there are people named Bartles and James out there somewhere (and yes, it IS alcohol!). I met a kid once in WV whose first name was Phillip and second name was Morris (after the cigarette company!). Thank you for making me so happy with your words. And yes, you ARE crazy! xo
Liz,
Thank you for such a nice comment! And thank you again so much for finding inspiration from that line of poetry--I adored what you wrote and am still thinking about it!
Amber,
They're good shits. Alright, that sounds really inappropriate but my husband and I say that to each other about them--a line from "There's Something About Mary!" Thanks for your kind words!
Ann Marie,
It's not new hair and don't be envious! I would kill (not kidding) for hair like yours. Crowning glory. I keep ragging my colorist about extensions--in a heartbeat, baby! Thank you so much for your comment!
Kim,
Thank you! You cracked me up with the grinning 'til the face cracks open line. SO TRUE! It's impossible to get everyone to look normal in the same picture (so we always go with the pictures where I look best-hahaha!). Thanks again for your nice words!
Laini,
You aren't kidding about the big guy keeping things interesting! And thanks for the "young" comment--whenever I get carded while ordering a drink, I feel like celebrating! Hope you had a great weekend!
BB,
It was an exhausting weekend but so worth it! We're glad to be back! Aw, and you have a James, too--I love that name!
Pearl,
You said it, sister, "soul nourishing." I think it was one of our best trips--we were so busy and we were together! Thank you for your wonderful and generous comment. xo
Joely Sue,
Thank you! Definitely happy people in those shots (though not all the time--we've all been known to "tantrum!").
Shannon,
Thank you! I feel so behind--but it's nice having a bunch of posts to read! Hope you had a great weekend!
Corey,
What lovely words and so true. Thank you for what you wrote--just resonates with me!
Madeleine,
Oh, I'm so glad you stopped by and am grateful that you plan to come back! Thank you for taking the time to comment--it means a lot to me!
This is lovely!
xoxo
