things that are growing...

1. This Basil

We grew lots of basil last year & ate it all through the summer so we decided to plant some for our new place when we moved. We rotate our little planter each morning & by the time Finn gets home from work, the baby stems have always leaned in towards the sun. Basil is delicious on all types of things & grows really fast!

2. Our Nephew

I miss this little guy so much & he's changing with every passing week. I love skyping with him & his sweet mama (Summer) and being able to actually see how he's grown, which is always a lot. Most recently, he has taken on vegetables, become a champ at rolling over, and has two teeth for crying out loud. He's getting big.

3. My Hair

A few months ago I cut off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Some friends & I did it together and if you've ever considered donating, I encourage you to do it! The short hair was great for winter when I was swimming laps often plus I think I saved a whole bunch of money on conditioner. That said, I'm ready for it to be long again and slowly but surely, it's growing back and is now past my shoulders!

a skype date.

Earlier this week, I skyped with my sister-in-law Summer and her sweetest baby Jet who is my first ever nephew (or niece for that matter). He's a total cutie. I miss them loads and was thrilled to see their faces (see my perma-smile). I'm thankful to Skype that I can still see Jet grow month by month. I miss my Rimbeys!

Although the last one seems like Jet is smiling at me, he's actually smiling at his mama who is standing up. He's obsessed with her and lights up like this when she talks to him. Isn't he so sweet? I love this little guy.
