sorry i didn't check in yesterday but hopefully everyone was enjoying the "holiday". here in new england we had ridiculously unseasonable high temps and it was glorious.

lil hoot helped a sweet friend with a sip & see over the weekend and i am looking so forward to sharing some images from the day. i was truly honored to be a part of it.

okay, so a couple of things to check out today . . .

this donut-themed shower from a beautiful mess. adorbs!

pre-order the new steve jobs biography. what a wonderful gift for someone. RIP steve. can't wait to learn more about you.

congrats, meg and randy! happy, happy, happy!
can't wait to share some special deets from meg and handsome ransom's nuptials.

the B party

soooo. . . this was sort of a lost year for pics. apparently we were too busy getting 'B'lacked out to document the soiree.

not much to say about these. i meeeeaaaan, clearly before babies.
in no particular order:

bouncers {dogs. obvi}
bumble bees
bathrobe guy
ballers
bruins
beach comber
burgler
baywatch babes
beer girl
bowler {think kingpin.}
bond and bond girl
buddy the elf {well-played, willis}
beetlejuice, beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!
big p*ssy {this was the sopranos era}
bananas

from the limited photos, it appears that this party was a Bust! but it really was a blast. the peeps that made an appearance were hardcore {especially bathrobe guy}
this was the first year a costume-contest winner was crowned and our tradition of the winner choosing the next year's letter was born. . .
K-rock nailed it with the letter 'M' . . .

you're in for some magic next week.

so what would you "B"?

in an ideal world. . .
