total blogging slacker, here.  sorry folks.  whew!  things have been busy-busy.  elinor and i spent most of last week in-and-out {mmmm…kinda gives me a hankering for a double-double.  you know what i’m saying}  of the car on wedding coordinating adventures.  have i mentioned that my little sister tied the knot this past weekend?!?!  yes, yes.  a married lady now.  it was a big ol’ party on sunday.  lots of cowboy boots and big hair and pretty makeup and burly men wearing billy ball boutineers and two stepping and bbq and sweet preserves and scrumptious pie…oh, the pie.  it was really something.  and now, now we get to take a breath.  AND, i can devote some time to my poor little neglected blog.

stay tuned for a belated five month update for our little peanut {feel free to review past posts here and here and here and here so that miss elinor’s cutie pie-ness is fresh in your mind}, some wedding-y stuff, perhaps some mama musings, and bits and pieces that i have been collecting.

happy monday ladies and gents!

have you ever wondered what happens when you disrupt elinor’s blissful playtime?  this.  this face happens.  look at those eyeballs!  and yes, she is shaking her fist at me.  such sass!  i just don’t know where she gets it…

in spite of that intimidating expression, i am enjoying seeing her personality more and more these days.  just think of the months to come!  just imagine the teen years… we have a joyful, curious, determined, independent, boisterous, and sometimes bashful little lady on our hands.  and i wouldn’t have it any other way.

oh i just had to share this with the world.

{and by world, i mean those of you who happen to check out this blog…hi mom!  hi dad!  hi amy!  hi adele!}

would you look at these two?  how sweet are they?  would you just listen to those sweet gurgles and coos?  and look at her launch off of her papa, so strong.  and that yawn.  playtime with papa can really tucker you out!  oh, that little face.  and look at my hubby.  he is just beaming with pride and happiness and contentment.  he sure does love his little girl.  i could gush for days.

and i could share video after video.  oh wait!  and now i can.  i recently joined the super cool vine community where you can create 7 second videos and share them on a feed.  they just loop and loop!  it is like video instagram.  love it.  and it is so much fun to see how creative people can be.  me?  not so creative.  i just post video after video of little miss e.  get ready for cuteness overload!  so, if you are looking for another social media outlet, feel free to head over to your app store and pick up vine.  you can find me at “rachel whitehouse”

toodle-oo!

a happy sprinkling of joy and generosity

elinor’s aunt bree and honorary aunt hallie threw us a little party last weekend. well, them plus a gaggle of gals who came together to help with ideas and execution. we are so blessed to have so many creative people in our lives who wanted to share in this day. and of course, these girls went above and beyond and everything was darling.

the fête was hosted by a family friend and she let us hang out on her super-soft couches while we nibbled and noshed on tasty treats [thank you mom for making that to die for quiche and perfect fruit salad and tart lemon squares].

the shower had a bookworm theme which was seen in every detail of the day. we took home many, many books that have filled miss elinor’s bookshelves. she is going to have quite the enviable library.

it was so special to have a bunch of wonderful friends around for a morning of giggling, story-sharing, and brunch-munching. baby and i feel so special. i know that elinor is already so loved and prayed for…and spoiled!

thank you, thank you!
