Weeknight Delights

Last night we had soup, salad and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and welcomed the return of 24.

Tonight, I try on my wedding dress for the first time.

Feed the poor

Last night Ryan gave a beggar man $2. I questioned his generosity. But today I am proud. Proud that his heart is bigger than mine and grateful that his heart belongs to me.

This is how we roll

A "let there be love" gathering.

A quiet January day.

A walk across town.

A sunset photo shoot on the Highway 29 overpass.

Yah, we're classy like that.

Every day with these three is a little adventure. Never fails. How I love them....

The peak of Everest

I got to spend the day with these two kids yesterday...

We took a long, scenic drive, accompanied by "piggy" , whose tail Everest likes to carefully twirl between his fingers...

Everest is such a joyful companion. Whatever we do, he is typically happy and content, except when restrained by high chairs - so barbaric!

Our drive took us to Casa de Awesome where we scampered about with the chickens. Again, Everest was happy to join in on the fun.

Our mid-day hunger led us to Genova's Deli where Everest sat in a big boy chair and ate tuna (his mother's favorite) like a champ. We thought about an impromptu drive to the beach, but ultimately decided a nap for all sounded better. Later, Everest showed me his new trick....

Meet Amby and Lefty.

Katie and I spent part of New Years Day discovering that we are really quite good at racquet ball, even though we are not exactly familiar with the rules. We took the match very seriously and I learned that Katie has a mean back hand.




In fact, Katie can play ambidextrously and I am strictly left-handed. Thus, our official racquet ball nicknames...

Lefty and Amby! Watch out!

P.S. We built up quite an appetite and headed to Tower Cafe to re-fuel. Because we were having a "same-sy" kind of day, we both ordered coffee with cream and the tostada salad. We spent nearly the entire meal complimenting the salad. It was one of best salads of my life!
