Weekend Update

Is it really Monday already?? We had such a great weekend at the coast that it is hard to get back into the swing of things! We were able to take a few days off last week and enjoy a nice 4-day weekend. I am going to make my weekend update short and sweet with pictures! If you follow me on Instagram you have already seem some of these & if you don't then you should follow me at:

Here we go!

I enjoyed some fresh shrimp Thursday night! Yum! 

Lady was all about wanting to get outside to play, here she is begging :)

The hubby spent most of the weekend changing out our railing on the front deck.
We had wooden balusters that made it feel more closed in & he changed them to wire paneling. 
So much better!!
I love that my hubby is so handy!

Work in progress...

Here is a comparison of the before (LEFT) and after (RIGHT).
See what a difference it is! It feels so open now!

Here is another after picture of the deck railing.

While Brad was busy working, I was busy playing photographer.
Here is one with our Lady. I love the way the sun is coming across the picture.
Check back tomorrow because I am showing examples of pictures with different lenses!

I enjoyed a little Procescco over the weekend as well...

We went and got donuts Saturday morning...not on the diet, but so worth it!

I captured this sunset picture over the bay. I love the reds of the sun and the light blue in parts of the water. This view never gets old.

 and I will leave you with our oldest (and smallest) girl looking so big on the deck!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
