i'm just jumping over two super important weeks straight into present. we've got some catching up to do, and i promise to go back there soon.
in the meantime, today marked the start of fall. it was a chilly, breezy day with a few showers. i got in a walk in the park with brett & lu, a walk in the woods with jen & the pups, and a short bike ride with brett this evening. i wrote a handful of thank you notes, did some laundry, and made delicious and easy peanut noodles.
yesterday i fit in a workout, a walk with jen & the pups, a farmers market trip with mom, a bike ride with brett, and a bunch of cooking. we had jenna & alex over last night for an adult-only dinner hurrah- what could be our last one for quite some time. today marked jenna's due date and we are are all eagerly awaiting baby b's arrival. we scheduled our dinner party early in the week but i waited to shop until early yesterday morning when i was quite certain our plans wouldn't be imposed on by the impending arrival. i made a favorite recipe, lemon pasta, and lemon garlic salmon. jenna brought a terrific salad. i rounded things out with a new twist on a delightful dessert.
while i spend a lot of time with jenna, and brett spends even more time with alex, it's relatively rare that all four of us hang out, and even more rare that it's intentional, lengthy, and at the dinner table. i savored every moment of it, knowing that our traditional routines and focus are about to get shaken up in the most exciting and daunting way possible.

thanks again for having us over! the meal was wonderful and the company was even better. not to mention it was a nice distraction from the fact that baby b is taking his or her sweet time to emerge into the world... who knows maybe we'll have one more childless dinner in the near future? xo
