Despite the weekend starting off with a few Friday the 13th hiccups
(i.e. our wedding shadow box being shattered and the foyer mirror scrapping the paint and busting the dry wall all ending with me in tears), it turned out to be productive yet relaxing.
Saturday Winston came up from the city to play handyman. He assembled our new modern piece for the dining room then helped Ryan hang several pieces of art work and some mirrors. His help cut about 3 hours off of the project time which made us forever grateful.

Then Win & Ryan played chef whipping up some homemade burgers, corn on the cob, sweet potato fries, and cookie ice cream dessert. We had a full blown burger bar with topping choices of lettuce, tomato, bacon, guacamole, and thousand island dressing. Plus the usual fixins' like ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Delicious!

Sunday we headed to the 10am church service on a blue sky kinda day. Followed by brunch at
The Patio in the down of Briarcliff. The food was amazing and the service was killer. A quick in & out breakfast followed by a flavored coffee
to go from
Moonbean Cafe next door.

We headed our separate ways as I played in the finals of my tennis tournament while Ryan mountain biked through our backyard.
Figuratively not literally. Although I lost, I loved playing in the tournament and held my head high that I even reached the finals with a few wins along the way. And I was reminded that I am not 18 and playing rather I am 29 plus 5 months preggo. Still competitive and fierce as ever though.

I came home to Ryan still in his bike gear gleaming after a wild ride. Our neighborhood is the mecca for the great outdoors, and I am glad he is getting to explore. He is like a caged animal during the week who definitely needs release on the weekends!

All in all, a fairly laid back but extremely fulfilling weekend in Westchester County. The countdown continues until baby T arrives as does the progress we are making on getting all nestled in.
How was your weekend?!
