seahorses forever

dear friends i've been in a whirlwind of activity over the past week and am starting to catch my breath a little.  there is so much i need to catch you up on, and hopefully will get to do that over the weekend and before i go on vacation next week :) in the mean time, this little gem is from our weekend fun at the city arts fest at fair park, taken in front of the children's aquarium.  if you've ever seen this video, you know why it's so hilarious (if you want to watch it now, the language is nsfw so use headphones! but i promise you'll get a chuckle out of it.). 

also, i have been slacking on coming by your blogs too, i am missing my little blog friends and all your fun posts so i hope to be stopping by soon!

love love love

the original hipsters

hello lovely friends!! first of all, i want to thank you so much for your kind words & patients...it has been rough but may is already looking up so how about some positivity?! roxy got her sutures out this morning and other things seem to be aligning well in our lives...

ok, so have you seen this tumbler "dads are the original hipsters"? it is HILARIOUS, so true and awesome. if you need a little something to help you smile, head on over and sift through the pages.  be sure to read the commentary, as that is the most important part.

hope you all are having a lovely week thus far! oh and it's may 4th....so may the fourth be with you :)

just remember to fall in love

a little friday music for your eyes and ears - the chemical brothers new single, swoon, is amazing and their video is just lovely and very reminiscent of their live show graphics. love it and hope you do as well!



also, here are some of my favorite things i've seen this week on the web:

a hilarious website to send your notes of annoyance to

alice is making me want to live in portland

the cutest baby bathtime pics (with an adorable duck towel!)

beautiful wedding posts over on unruly things this week

uber-cute little letters from dawn's new etsy shop!

clever & cute letterpress necklaces (via a cup of jo)

hope you have a super weekend!!

xoxo

who needs some roxy love?

struggling trying to keep up this week! i have pictures from adventures but my camera is being a jerkface right now so i'll figure it out tonight...hopefully :)

in the meantime, watch this uber-cute "summer day" video by jeana! she is so creative.

hope y'all are having a good week

xoxo

uma

stephen and i love dogs, that's no secret. something you may not know is that we LOVE great danes. in fact, we are hoping to adopt one in the near future (by "near" i mean as soon as we're out of our apartment...which might not be as near as you are thinking, ha). we might already have a name picked out and everything. so when i saw these pictures on sharon montrose's blog, my heart skipped a beat. this is uma, and she had to have her leg amputated because of cancer. despite her three-leggedness, she looks so beautiful and joyful!! actually, i think the absence of her leg may give her that much more character. isn't she just beautiful??

thought that might put a smile on your face this monday morning.
