This past weekend was spectacular. It was filled with productivity and spontaneity all in one...
Friday night I finally got to meet sweet baby Rowan... and he did not disappoint. He is simply precious. Now... if I can just convince his mama and daddy to not move away to France this year...
On Saturday Lance and I made a last minute decision to head over to Louisville's own music festival, Forecastle... and we were SO glad we did. So many great bands all in one place.
We listened to Mona, The Alabama Shakes, Joy Formidable, Matt & Kim, and The Black Keys. I've always been a fan of
Joy Formidable, and the lead singer is perfection. She's this tiny little thing with an incredible voice... and she smashed her guitar at the end of the concert... which was totally awesome.
Then we headed over to the Red Bull stage for
Matt & Kim. BEST.LIVE.SHOW.EVER. They were incredibly entertaining. Lance and I have both been fans of their music for a while now... but after seeing them live, I'm slightly obsessed. And Kim's the drummer... which makes her a badass in my book.
So, so good.
Forecastle is hosted every year at the Waterfront in Louisville... and Saturday's weather provided the absolute best backdrop ever. We had a stunning sunset overlooking the Ohio River...
gorgeous.
We had a relaxing Sunday morning with fresh eggs and veggies... oh, and some burnt breakfast sausage patties... oops. Good thing the eggs tasted good:)
Then, probably the highlight of our weekend was adoption paperwork. For any of you that have been following along in our adoption journey know that I've shed more than a few tears over the amount of adoption paperwork we have. It's insane. But we are so, so close. Yesterday we met with a friend's mom who agreed to notarize all of our documents... and she did...
all.bleepin'.ninty-six.of.them. I kid you not. That was not an over exaggeration. We notarized 96 documents yesterday.
But, good news... we are mailing out our dossier this week!!!!
So yes. All in all I'd say we had an absolutely spectacular weekend.
How about you??

PS The concert looked amazing too! Jealous! Another reason why Louisville is amazing.
That does sound like an amazing weekend! Way to go on the paperwork (and you have a great friend, wow!)!!
We had a great weekend too... really relaxing. Didn't do a lot, although it was nice to get housework and writing done since jury duty has taken over my life during the week. And I got to spend time with a good friend last night. :)
Julia, You totally need to submit that gorgeous sunset photo in somewhere, that is amazing! And even more awesome is finishing your dosier paperwork. WOOT WOOT! Another step closer to getting our sweet baby girl home!
Oh and a concert to boot... awesome weekend!
