dogfight

summer and sam at work this morning.
it’s so fun to watch them play.
sam is the most gentle dog i have ever been around.
we hope summer takes after him.

the uniform project

so fun! i stumbled across this today on abovethefraymag. since may 1st, sheena matheiken has worn a uniform as “an exercise in sustainable fashion.” i loved seeing all the looks she has pulled together...pulling together outfits with vintage stuff, flea market finds and stuff donated by other designers. (i didn’t pull the most exciting photos...so see for yourself) and donations go to the Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in Indian slums. i was just telling someone today that i wished the kids wore uniforms.(heck, sometimes i wish i did!) a friend of hers designed the main dress...it can be worn backwards, open, closed...very versatile. i’ll have to get a hold of the pattern.

new school years eve

i’m sad. i am not one of those parents that can’t wait till their kids go back to school. i really love having my guys home. have i mentioned that my favorite thing in the world is hearing them laugh? they have done lots of that this summer. but tomorrow is the big day. (early for us burtonites...usually we don‘t go back till after labor day) i know they will love seeing all their friends and we will be in the routine before we know it. but till then...a couple pictures of summer goodness.

beach

at this rate, we’ll be booking next year’s vacation by the time i show you our vacation photos. still organizing.

summer

the new addition to our family. she’s the one biting the fence.
we think sam was meditating about dogmas or something.
