this weekend was f-u-n. it was filled with wedding showers, parties, events, and great weather.

we did the showers and parties friday night, saturday morning, and saturday night. they were all fun, and the weather was mild, but a bit rainy. i woke up this morning to brilliant sunshine, green grass, and blue skies. we were off to church, brunch, and then an afternoon outside.

first we hit the cotton bowl for the "dog bowl" with the pups and their friend, lucy (who you will see in some pics). i guess they do this every year before they re-sod the field. whatever the case, it's a great time and the pups could not love it more. next we hit the east dallas garden tour (i know, who would guess that we would like this, but we do!) in little forest hills. if you aren't familiar with this neighborhood in dallas, you should be. their slogan is "keep little forest hills funky," need i say more? it's cool, with hills, unusual lots, beautiful gardens, and best of all, unique homes. the area is just about five minutes from us, on the other side of white rock lake near the arboretum. i highly recommend the garden tour if you like that sort of thing. lots of fun. we made a brief stop by lakewoodstock, the festival in lakewood, and i have a feeling that once our little man gets here, we will be there a lot longer...they had a bounce house the size of our actual house, looked like a lot of fun. anyway, great weekend, great weather, and i am so thankful for it!
