A Lovely Lewis Life

Oh, Monday. Why do you have to come so soon?! The good news about this week is that it's a short-ish week for me. My office is usually closes early the day before a holiday so on Friday I'll get to head home a little earlier that normal and have a long weekend. Yay! On Friday night Beckett and I went to the first varsity football game of the season. The result wasn't good for our team but we enjoyed being out and cheering them on anyway! Anytime the crowd cheered Beckett would wait until everyone was done and then start clapping. By the end of the game he was exhausted and I caught this pic of him relaxing on Popi's lap. Poor guy looks out of it. We ended up going to eat with my family after the game so we didn't get home until after midnight. I'm definitely too old for that! We started our Saturday with cinnamon roll waffles on the back patio. I love having breakfast on the patio when the weather is nice on the weekends! Later we did some running around during...

Today I'm doing my first link up with some of my favorite blogs for my Friday Favorites! I can't believe that it's already the last Friday in August! I'm crazy excited for some high school football to start tonight. Watching my brother play any sport is one of my favorites so I'm hoping he will get some playing time with the varsity team this year. We love our #23! Our refrigerator is covered with artwork that Beckett has done at daycare. Recently he did a lion with his footprint and it was beyond adorable and definitely one of my favorites! These pieces will be so fun to look back on as he gets older. I'm usually the type of person who likes to keep things electronic. At work I hate having any type of paper laying on my desk so any time I can do something electronically that's how I work best. However, keeping up with a calendar is one thing that I do NOT like to do electronically. I've tried it and it's just not for me. Insert this  Emily Ley Simpl...

I thought I'd start out by doing a recap of our summer. I know it's not officially over yet but the mornings and evenings have been cool this week here in Southwest Virginia which has me excited for fall to arrive. I'm not quite ready to put away my sundresses and toss out my pink blooms yet so lets all enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. This summer was a little a lot different than previous summers. Sure last year was different because we had a newborn but this year we have a toddler and he's full force all.the.time. We also have limited family time because of our current work schedules so we try to make the most of what time we do have together. June During the month of June we played outside a lot. We went to the park where we climbed, slid, and enjoyed the swing! We played in the water table and splash pad in the back yard. B accompanied that by swinging backwards (as always) and a new trick of going down the slide head first.   Beckett rode his "bike...
