One Pot Wonder.

This soup is so delicious. It too is perfect for fall. But the best part is that its a one pot meal. So simple and easy--here is the recipe.

The bread was also delic. If I could capture the smell in a picture, your mouth would be watering. I will be making this again. The recipe is from The Joy of Cooking--Milk Bread.

Busy Bee Family.

We have all been on the go lately...don't remember ever being so busy. I think that happens when you have a family--it's a good busy though. Suddenly life is constantly changing in such a tangible way and full of excitement. One day your baby has two teeth the next day he has four (true story). Levi is now officially on the go--nothing is cuter than a crawling baby! He is such a ham, too...if we laughs, he laughs.

Meanwhile Dan and I race full speed ahead, trying to balance parenthood with work. Dan is liking his new job and traveling to all sorts of fun places. I am trying to stay a float and squeeze meetings and painting each day, whenever I can. No end in sight for my business--well, I am aiming to take a Christmas break. :)

Today I worked on a piece for a friend who is getting married. He's surprising his wife-to-be with painting that incorporates their memories, using their "paper trails." Great idea and very thoughtful gift.

Door County

This past weekend my sister Rachel and her family and my brother Josh and his family joined us in Door County. Growing up we spent a lot of time there and it was fun to visit our old stomping ground. Amazing to be up there, all grown up and sharing our memories now with our spouses and kids. It was BEAUTIFUL and so fun to spend that time together!

HHHaircut.

I got my hair cut and this J.Crew model was my inspiration. I cut 12 inches off! Yikes! I think it is going to work out though--it's a nice change to say the least. I feel lighter and fresh...I am lighter and fresh.

Setu.

I have been working on redesigning the first floor of Crossway. The Setu chair was chosen for the sales conference room. I like that it is hip and current but simple and practical...form and function coexisting beautifully. You have done it again, Herman Miller.

Bad News and Good News

Fact or fiction?

A woman's feet can grow during pregnacy.

Fact and I am living proof every time I try on my shoes. That is the bad news. The good news is...NEW S SHOE...that fit!

Thank you Daniel for surprising me! So loving.
