Happy Friday, everybody! As half of our team is in Costa Rica, the rest of us are business as usual, only it's much quieter around here. (Not like we're jealous or anything. I mean, we live in Springfield, which they say is like the Costa Rica of Missouri. Or something like that.) We're still working hard and making plenty of messes though!
Remember just a few short Casual Fridays ago we posted some photos of Philip and his wife Christina when they were expecting? Here is little Leona! We love her so much already!
This week, I posted this Instagram photo that caused a frenzy of people to believe Emma + Elsie were going to be on SNL. It was kind of mean/funny. It wasn't really about Photoshop tricks, thoughβit had more to do with light that I was using. We just got it, and we shot a really fun Sister Style with it that you'll see next week!
Well, by next week we will have our beloved team back. For now, here are our thoughts on being left behind:
JK. We are all excited to see a lot of photos from Costa Rica begin to show up in our Instagram feeds! π
Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!!
Love, Sarah (+ Josh, Jacki, + Philip)

That’s a question for Laura, but probably Urban Outfitters, as I found it here: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=29359536&color=010&cm_mmc=SEM-_-Google-_-PLA-_-55041993784adwords_labelsA_FURN_KITCHEN_BARWARE&device=c&network=g&matchtype=&gclid=CJz2oozD1L4CFbRxMgodRgEAYQ

I’m sure little Leona has a lot to be thankful for, but at the top of her list should be those good hair genes! Are Philip and Christina EVEN KIDDING ME with their awesome hair?! I love the way you guys are rockin’ those curls! Love & tail wags to you all from St. Louis!
yeiiiii you are visiting my country!! bring umbrellas, in the central valley is raining a lot!so my recomendation is to visit GUANACASTE!!! the weather is better there (hot) and the beaches are the best!!
check my instagram acount: whatkattiedid
love you guys!!! and HAVE FUN HERE!!
Josh rocked the last photo JA!
Loving the “work smarter and harder” wall art ^_^ Was it a diy or a buy?
Love the photos <3
Er, I’m confused as to why anyone would have believed they would be on SNL in the first place. They aren’t “celebrities” by any stretch of the imagination.
I’m from San JosΓ©, Costa Rica! I read the blog everyday (multiple times) so it’s very very exciting to know that part of the team of ABM is here π
I hope you have a great time, there are so many wonderful places to go in this tiny country!
Um.. Is that Rex Manning on the baby’s onsie? Parenting WIN!
looooove this!
