Just a few pictures from our Sunday. 

improvising at its best

due to the {amazing} thunderstorm last evening the Mr. and I had to get a little creative with our smore situation. So, we roasted them inside and it was marvelous!

girls will be girls

Christine, Stacie, Laurie & Bostyn, Kaylie & me

  

all the girls at the pool.

i love the summers and it is especially fun when you have girls like these to spend the days with.

a farmers market

i thoroughly enjoy farmers markets. 

for some reason produce is so much more appealing to me when i'm there.

never in the grocery store do i have the sudden urge to snap some quick pictures of the tomatoes i happen to put in my cart... must be the "organic" charm of a farmers market.

and these little piggies 

cutest thing at the market

an evening stroll

It is so green here in Charlotte and I'm loving it.

There's just something different about Charlotte. A good different.

&
 the trees! So so many trees...

here just take a looksie for yourself

The girls and I went for a walk on the 4 mile greenway one evening. It was quite the evening filled with tad pole catching, muskrat spotting {ugly little creatures} and dog kisses {reference picture above}

North Carolina you are gorgeous and we love you for it.
