. . . in the navy . . .

{village people, anyone?}

. . . one easter . . .

. . . 1989 to be exact . . .

. . . i dressed the entire family 

in navy and white . . .

{when they were all still young enough to wear whatever i told them to wear}

. . . quite a departure 

from the usual springy pastels . . .

. . . and i really can't wait for the day

 when drew and jessalyn 

have a little boy . . .

. . . why? . . .

{feel free to discuss/laugh at our perms/bangs to heaven. it's fine.}

. . . because i still have 

that sweet outfit . . .

. . . and i will see 

that it is worn again! . . .

{love you, drew and jess!}

. . . perhaps this nostalgia 

is what inspired 

today's batch of oops! . . .

. . . there's just something crisp 

and kind of nautical 

about this color combination . . .

. . . a couple of these 

paired with a navy bloops! 

would make a wonderful gift

for any new boy baby . . .

{navy blue always makes me think of "franck" from father of the bride 

talking about steve martin's "nauffy blue tuxahdo"}

. . . none of these crazy girls 

were wearing navy last night,

{smooth segue?} 

but hanging out 

with my funny daughters 

is always entertaining . . .

. . . and amanda's hashtags 

crack me up . . .
