The Eaton Home

Our good friends, the Eatons, graciously lent us their home this week while we were in Phoenix. They have a very comfortable home, with a great layout, and an incredible new outdoor space that's perfect for the beautiful weather here. 

My favorite part of their home is their use of accessories, art and photos. Lisa has a great eye for picking out eclectic pieces that go together and also look like they've been around for years. 

I haven't forgotten to finish up Home Design Week (I guess it's Home Design Month now) with a post on Art and Accessories. The most important part! Next week. I promise. 

Phoenix - Day & Night 3

I have to admit, coming into this little vacation I thought Phoenix in the middle of May might be a bit late, but I was wrong. 95 degrees on day 3, but we barely noticed.

Started out with some early morning yard sales (mostly talking) with my friend Lisa...next up was family patio time, complete with Starbucks and a pool boy...moved on in the afternoon to a very fun swim date with the Eatons...and ended the night with Ryan and Hannah's wedding.

Day 4, can you top that?

John relaxes with his fantasy golf game and couch parenting.
Lincoln giving back to our gracious house hosts. Water feature pool boy. Lincoln and Caroline. I see a future here.
Harrison's "i'm not so sure" reaction to the pool. He just got himself signed up for swim lessons with this attitude.
Couldn't keep Ben out of the pool. Little fish.
Wow, hot Reverend.

Maybe my favorite wedding dress of all time. And I've been to alot of weddings. Beautiful, Hannah.
