Things are pretty upside-down around here.

The Greatest Showman (or actually, Show-Women).

Well hello, fair New York City.

When the crew falls in line.

When you actually want dragon breath.

Today was a surprise girls' day: 

Mamma Mia followed by shopping in Northampton 

and stumbling upon Dragon Breath ice cream delightfulness. 

*Some* like the post-vacation laundry avalanche.

Finding post-vacation outtakes (AKA digital gold).

Home, but here the memories remain.

Hearts (and other miraculous beings) aflutter.

She and her shells, so swell.

Kicking around, getting down with P-Town.

A gorgeous day in Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA

Nothing says vacation like ... this, frankly.

Sister dance party, Atlantic Ocean edition.

Jumping for joy on the Cape!

Working diligently to secure the perimeter.

Feeling the long grass afternoon vibes.

Our starter garden, cheerful and sunny.

Hang in there until the weekend.

Hello from Grandma Connie and Poppy's!

Shin tattoo aside, she nailed it.

Kitty regularly channels her inner flamingo.

(Flamingoes are actually pretty badass)

Peppy and properly covered in pets.

Post-pool lounge in reasonable summer temps.

We are in the 80's for the next two days and we're soaking it in! Some time at the town pool, followed by a good old fashioned lounge and dinner outside.

Thanks, Clayton, for our Brazil update!

It was a tough loss for both the Brazilians and the Uruguayans today, and for the Mexicans a couple days ago. With our favorite American teams now out of the World Cup, the Hopkins are officially throwing our support behind England. 

Take me out with the crowd!

We watched our Hartford Yard Goats play tonight.

Hope your Fourth was a blast!

Pop-up beauty parlor amidst the heat.

Time spent reading 'tween the lines...
