The very lovely Brooke Jared has a new website filled with her photography goodness. If you look carefully, you may see some faces you recognize. As a bonus, the website also exhibits her excellent taste in music. Brooke is incredibly talented and I can’t wait to have her do more portraits for us at some point.

I spent a good deal of time last week sewing dresses for the girls. I am pretty pleased with them, but I think I’ll add some more ric rac about an inch from the hem. The girls weren’t in the modeling mood when I tried to get some pictures, but they did get a lot of compliments at church. Mostly because they were so BRIGHTLY matching!

School ended this week, and Mike relocated and unpacked his classroom, and this was cause for celebration. So we took his end-of-the-year gifts, the Blingo money that arrived yesterday and the rest of our Christmas money and headed to the fancy mall. We went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner, and our wait was relatively short. After we were seated and ordered, our food came in a reasonable amount of time, but all at once. Salad and entrees within 30 seconds of each other. And the hostess had forgotten to give us silverware. So, we had all our food and nothing to eat it with, which we were pretty polite about. They kept coming back to apologize and reheated and refreshed our entrees and when our meal was over, they told us they comped the whole thing: dinner, dessert, wine, everything. We have eaten at the Macaroni Grill a good number of times, and we like it, and we knew that sort of thing is not normal, but it was still nice to have such great customer service. Lesson learned: celebratory dinners are even more celebratory when you don’t pay for them!
Then we went to the apple store and bought a new iPod, since our old one bit the dust. Our last one was the last generation before color/photo screens, and the difference in clarity is AMAZING. The videos actually look good! I can’t wait to load some stuff for the girls to watch when we fly in a few weeks.

“I can’t tell you anything you don’t already know.
I keep on trying, I should just let it go.”
Life is busy, and exhausting, and breathtakingly beautiful. My to do lists are long, but I try to keep enjoying life as I go along.
