.And how was your weekend.

Mine was fantastic. After a very long week for both of us {Cheyenne's been bogged down at the office & Amelia was a pill all week} we were both looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend and that's just what we got.
Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow so we went out to celebrate on Saturday while Grandpa watched the Peanut {it was the first time that someone else gave her dinner, a bath, & put her to bed which gave me a mild panic attack}. Cheyenne & I went out here in our part of town {St. John's} for "NoFest", a local festival celebrating all things NoPo {North Portland for those of you that don't live in the area}. It was great, the weather was super nice and there was a ton of dancing and singing in the streets along with stalls of every kind. Then we went out for thai food {mmmm thai food} here in St John's as well. We gorged ourselves on avocado green curry, spring rolls, & pad kee mow; luckily we had decided to walk from the house to the festival & dinner {the festival took place on the length of St. John's main street so everything was within walking distance} so the fresh air and walking helped settle our very full tummies. We rounded out the night with stops to The Fixin' To, Plews Brews, & the McMenamins St. John's Pub. It was the perfect NoPo experience and so much fun for our anniversary.
Yesterday was spent just relaxing and playing with the baby and animals and a trip to Sauvie's Island for some amazing fresh, local, organic produce which we all three devoured for dinner {artichokes, mango, avocado, marionberries, raspberries, strawberries, heirloom tomatoes, sugar snap peas}. Ahhh, it's so nice to start off the week actually recharged!
