Random Round Up: Girls, Girls, Girls

A week/end chock full of girly goodness with friends flying in from Pittsburgh and driving to my northern-lands from Sumner (WA) and Portland. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful few days with a few of my most favorite people (who also happen to have been 3/4 of my bridesmaids).

What's girls' weekend without snacks and wine?

Melly and I outside of Lola

A little ombre mani-pedi action

My best girls

Printed jeans. I'm on board.

Ever-thoughtful Emily's card she left behind. Awesome.

Sam Spins

Something to make you giggle, starring Nate and his little cousin Sam in our kitchen last weekend:

This was about the third go-round (HA.) - He would ask for more by laying on his belly and scooting backwards toward Nate until he started spinning him again. Kept us laughing for hours!

Happy Friday!

Vote for Ella!

Remember these faces from my flower girl posts?

Well, the older of the two lovlies, Ella, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes about a year ago. Yep, that precious little blonde muffin is stuck with needles and pain and sugar-free everything. Forever.

Unless.

Unless a cure can be found within her lifetime. And people, that's not a far-fetched dream. Millions of people are affected by Type 1, but, as with any disease, the kiddos dealing with it are the most heartbreaking. Ella is such a trooper (not to mention her parents!), even marching herself to the nurse to get injections in this, her first grade year of school.

Ella and her family are walking for a cure at the Mall of America in Minnesota again this year, and if you are so inclined, make a donation to support them and the cause as a whole. Just click the link and it will take you to The Prose Family team where you can donate any (ahem: tax deductible) amount you wish, high or low.

Click here to support Ella!

Every penny counts, for Ella and for everyone touched by Type 1 Diabetes. Please help if you can!

Vignettes

As I was ~~tidying up~~ scrubbing things down from our week-o-sickness, I found myself thinking that it's the little items in our home that I love the most. Those little groupings that really define who we are and make our home OURS.

vi·gnette (vin-yet)
1. An unbordered picture, often a portrait, that shades off into the surrounding color at the edges.
2. A short scene or incident, as from a movie.
3. To describe in a brief way.

Antique vase from my grandmother, a 7 to represent our anniversary.

Pretty gifted glasses and tray with custom lace from Nate's great aunt.

Boots and a good mat: Rainy season must-haves.

Beckoning cat, family photo, and fun reads in the coffee table.

Random Round Up: Under the Weather

We rallied toward the end of the weekend, but it was pretty slow going the last few days! Thankful for a job that allows for some recovery time, a hot mug of tea, and a couch piled with blankets and a warm puppy.

Frosty morning

Lots of this happening.

Taking care of me or just begging?*

Nate was down and out Saturday - Puppy heating pad, engage.

Last home U.Dub game of the season & last game at CenturyLink field - Renovated Husky Stadium next year!

Here's to a new and healthy week ahead!

*Did you notice the hairless bump by Tucker's nose? Don't be concerned - The vet checked him out and said it's basically a conglomeration of white blood cells that will disappear in a few weeks. Keeping an eye on it to be sure, but all's well. :)

Sick Day[s]

Just popping in to apologize for the lack of content this week - I've been down and out, even taking a sick day to stay home and sleep yesterday. On the upswing now... although Nate's taken a turn for the worse.

At least we can swap taking care of each other, I guess...! Have a great weekend.
