The readership on blogs generally declines on weekends, so I'm taking advantage and posting personal stuff my design readers may find boring, hope you don't mind!
I had a great weekend with Brian & Jack and friends & family. I stayed in with mom on Friday night and we ordered take-out from our favorite ethnic food restaurant in Stamford, Tabouli Grill. Neither my dad nor Brian like it, so we take advantage when they're not around. We had some wine, poured our hearts out with affection all over Jack, and chatted the night away. Brian stayed in the city after work to watch the Syracuse game, and although I said I was going to go in once my work was done, my motivation to take the train into NYC quickly dwindled after coming home to coziness with the Jackster and mamacita.
On Saturday AM mom and I went shopping for her MOTB dress, and we think we found it!
On Saturday night, Brian and I went to dinner with Lauren and Rob to one of our favorite rests. in Darien, The Goose. The boys mainly watched the UCONN basketball game and Lauren and I talked about our puppies as if they were our babies and of course, weddings! We decided we are going to do our joint bachelorette parties in the Hamptons/Montauk in August. Lauren and Rob are getting married in September and she's my MOH :)
My mom and I woke up early and went to an estate sale with Jack in Darien while Brian slept in. I got some great vintage goodies which I'll list in the shop this week :) Later, Brian and I strolled down Greenwich Ave with Jack and I bought him a cute fishbone collar from Vineyard Vines. After that, we introduced Jack to Todd's Point, the town park and beach, and we were pleasantly surprised to see so many dogs playing on the beach. We were a little nervous because Jack has never been off-leash outdoors and has been a little weird around other dogs, but we let him go and he absolutely LOVED it.
at the very end I say "Oh my God" and it because there was a lab out swimming so far I would be scared he might not make it back!

It was seriously the cutest thing I ever saw, I think I enjoyed it more than he did. He was so excited he didn't even know what to do, chasing all the bigger dogs, begging them to let him join in play. This yellow lab came up to him in the very beginning and I swear he said, "hey buddy, welcome to the club", and off he went!
He even chased them into the water, his first time swimming and it was 45 degrees out!!
here's a little video of us at doggie beach:
So there you have it, my weekend!! How was yours??
Sounds like you had a great weekend! Your little Jack is adorable, and as the owner of a yellow lab myself, I know how much they enjoy their swims. I actually keep Darcy on a leash, as I'm scared he's the one who'd be swimming out to sea. Btw, I enjoy your personal posts, so keep 'em coming! K xx
