We celebrated Adele's 21st birthday on the 21st! (Her real birthday is the 16th.) Becca was nice enough to have all of us over to her porch. Since Dan left for his internship there aren't any other guys home yet, so it was just the ladies. We had dinner and then got together to visit at Becca's. Not only was she nice enough to have us over, she made pretty hanging paper decorations. You know, the ones you can always find on pinterest. She always makes things look great, she's a pretty awesome hostess. The night was a fun one, with Adele indulging in her 21st and enjoying every moment. That is, if you couldn't tell by the picture... ;)
Yesterday, I babysat for a fairly new family of mine. I've only babysat for them one other time, but I already really like the family. I babysit for a group of grandkids when the family's adult children come home, so it's whole gang of kids, chaos, and outdoor sports. The grandparents (the ones who actually hire me) have the most impressive collection of Leica cameras. The grandmother had a strong interest in photography and still does, so those pictured^^ are not just collectibles, they were her cameras at one time before digital. Her interest in photography, specifically lifestyle photography, is still very evident in their house. She has a beautiful photo wall that has all sorts of film photos from when their children were young. Their den is littered with albums and photo books of various years and events from birthdays to vacations, etc. And lastly, photos are everywhere! I mean it. She even tapes them to kitchen cabinets. It's kind of a funny thing because they have this nice house, with well-made furniture, fancy décor, everything in it's place and well taken care of, and then there are these little tacked up photos in random places. I love it and to me, it is a testament to her strong sense of family in the way that she preserves and displays memories.
Also, how adorable is their youngest?? :)
