We had a false alarm this morning! Oh, I was so sure this was it...but alas, no labor in sight. Thank goodness for
dear friends who rush over at 5am to take care of sleeping babes. It truly takes a village to support a growing family, and I am so lucky to count
Elizabeth as one of my cherished 'villagers.'
Anyway....this weekend found us in Newport, for a quick overnight, as my husband was playing in a squash tournament at
St. George's. I wasn't sure I would be up for an active weekend- but we found plenty to do that didn't involve too much walking! A lovely sailboat ride, a driving tour of the Newport Mansions along Bellevue Avenue, and plenty of good eats.
A few of our favorite things:
*the pizza at
Pasta Beach
*every single item at the luscious natural skincare boutique
Farmaesthetics
*brunch at
The Spiced Pear
*the
Cliff Walk for beautiful scenery
On our way home Sunday afternoon, we stopped for a picnic lunch at one of my favorite places, Sweet Berry Farm. U-pick peaches, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, plus a ride on a tractor. Pretty much the best day ever! And now, back home...we continue our waiting game!

Sigh. I LOVE Newport. Haven't been there in forever! A friend is getting married there in October so I can't wait to see it all again. Sounds like the baby will be here soon!!!! Yay!!!!
Yeah for Elizabeth! boo for the false alarm. I always knew it was just a "hey, just wanted you to know I'm getting ready" kind of thing. Exciting and frustrating equally. Sending breezy, cool summer thoughts your way. Lovely weekend. Lovely boys.
Christine, I have been following your blog since I met you at Squam a few years ago and wanted you to know how much I enjoy reading about your journey. Your pictures are always amazing and your writing is heartfelt, authentic and beautiful. Sending the warmest wishes your way...love, laura
