Emerging

Let’s call it what it is: SB and I have hit a blogging slump. To apologize to our readers seems self-important, but I do feel sad that we have lost the momentum of sharing thoughts, ideas, memories, experiences, and insights. With Spring comes new beginnings. And we are glad for the chance to begin again….

Here are some highlights of the past few months…things have kept us busy and happy.

• Awaiting the arrival of our girl in May. Two special showers and lots of love from friends and family.
• A million-dollar gala to support for the Houston symphony.
• Some very fun weekends in Birmingham celebrating exciting happenings, including Mom’s birthday and dear friends’ nuptials.
• Enjoying long walks on lighted evenings.
• Murph and Finn
• Family/Mom visits to Houston and DC
• Writing, writing and more writing
• Yoga
• Power-walking
• A visit to see friends in the Midwest.

Have a Grand Weekend

The weekend is off to a grand start. A snow day today! Complete with a little sunshine and not one ounce of snow. I’ll take it!

Tonight we’re headed to a preview party for the Carlos Cruz-Diez exhibit at the MFAH (image above). Tomorrow, I’ll do some cleaning and yoga.

What are you up to this weekend?

Some clippings from the week -

An awesome list/review of beauty products from one of my favorite blogs.

Love this look. The hair, the outfit. Everything.

A funny account of Sunday’s Houston Marathon.

Love these ballerina photographs. Still need to see the movie.

Murph is jealous of these guys.

Love Anna’s documentation of Thundersnow 2011.

Here’s the skinny:I am officially participating in Blog Action Day. Join with me! The aim of Blog Action Day is to get a global conversation going on via blogging. This conversation centers on poverty. I welcome any general thoughts for now, and I will post more specifically soon. In the meantime, visit www.blogactionday.org.

Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.
