when you think you hate your job...

burke has arrived!...

a couple of weeks ago my sister & her husband had their first baby, my very first nephew. and maybe i'm biased, but he is SOOOO damn cute. I mean, look at the bald head & those lips! i am super obsessed with him, like, i asked them to send me photos and videos every single day kind of obsessed, no joke. 

burke pennington (we share a middle name!) was born on july 28th, 8lbs 6oz, 20 inches in sunny california. i love every little bit of him and can't wait to meet him in person. 

this might be the most hilarious photo of them all, look at this expression. my husband said all he needs is a scully cap and he'd fit right in here in boston...

and here's a little video of ooma (my mom) teaching burke how to box... i mean, c'mon, how great is this???

fall boots...

and so the fall catalogue shopping season begins... and i picked up these awesome nepal boots from TOMS (sold out on their website but i found them on amazon actually) to kickstart my longing for cooler weather...
