I had the best weekend. On Friday, Mitch and I drove up to Virgin Lake in Wisconsin, where my grandmother and her husband have a cabin. (They lead the coolest life together: they split their time between Long Island, New York; West Palm Beach, Florida; and Three Lakes, Wisconsin.) My parents, who I hadn’t seen since July, flew in from the East Coast, too. I really can’t express how happy I was to see everyone! Or how happy Mom was to meet Noodle. Hysterical. ;)
The weekend was spent boating, watching football, eating at restaurants, chatting, playing with Noodle, taking in the beautiful fall foliage, relaxing on the deck, and fishing. (Oh my goodness. Mitch caught the biggest fish ever. See it here! And how funny is my dad, who’s recording the video?) What a wonderful few days. I had a rough time saying goodbye today, but my eyes are on the prize: my road trip back east is in less than a month!
Anyway, thank you so much for having us, guys. We love you!
(P.S. — Yes; I realize that most of these photos are photos of Noodle. Turns out I have an obsessive personality, haha.)



















I love all of these pictures! I can’t believe how many deer were in the yard!

Thank you, Hunter! RIGHT?! Crazy. My grandmother’s husband is a deer whisperer. I’m kidding, but it’s definitely cool!
The best picture is of the group and your sweet mommy is holding her grand puppy, Noodle!!! Love!!!
Susan, thanks, girl! It was the cutest thing ever. My mom was in heaven! I’m bringing Noodle back to the East Coast in about a month, and I have a feeling my mom is already counting the days, hehe!
There is nothing wrong with most of the pictures being of Noodle :)
Thanks, Krystal, haha! There were 200 of them. I’m a nut job ;)
Gorgeous scenery! Your grandma has some serious style! Love that leopard coat!

Meg, thank you! RIGHT?! My grandmother has always been a style icon for me. She’s actually the one who introduced me to the beauty of sequins and glitter, hehe. ;)
I literally can’t deal with how adorable Noodle is, how do you get anything done with that cute face hanging around you? Also… your grandmas leopard coat is FANTASTIC!

Alex, THANK YOU! Me either. I really don’t get much done. Except for when she’s sleeping. I’m trying hard not to wake her up so I can actually get some work accomplished… but I just can’t help snuggling with her! Hehe. I’ll tell my grandmother you said that… I’m sure she’ll be so excited! :) xoxo!
I think Noodle has a wonderful, rich life ahead of her!
