Day of rest

After a super productive Saturday, Brandon and I holed up in our apartment for a day of rest. Yesterday, with the one oven, I baked 10 dozen of cookies (the batters yielded 2 dozen and 3 cookies more than I needed for the AIDS Walk order), and made a fantastic dinner of Roman-style chicken and roasted potatoes. Originally, we were just feeding ourselves and Olaina who came over while Justin was off at a bachelor party. But her brother Neil happened to be in the neighborhood so he joined us as well. With the one set of washer and dryer...

Cute, this one is

Much to share. But not first thing in the morning. I’m all about the happy post right now. More post to come! First off, fresh from the LA Times this morning. If we ever have kids, I can see this happening… Tea party at work went very well. I put a few pictures up on Flickr, so head over there.

We couldn’t resist. Yet, another hobby I shouldn’t have picked up. But it’s just too much fun! Justin and Olaina will be up in town for the next few weeks with his mom. They’re just waiting now. Olaina is sharing the experience over at her place. Please keep “Superman” Justin and his family in your prayer. I got Aunty Tim addicted to the new Almond Blueberry cookies....

Borrow Babies/Kitties/Puppies Weekend

The long weekend went like this. Errand Saturday. Baby and Kitties Sunday. Baby and Doggies Monday. I met J.C.’s baby Joshua for the very first time on Sunday. And yes, he IS tall! We brought J.C. some El Pollo Loco while Josh ate his Cheerios with us. Josh and I played quite a bit. Actually, he tackled me and drooled all over my face at some point. LOL. It was quite hilarious. What a happy little boy, this kid! Well, except when mommy went to put him down for a nap. He was tired but he didn’t like that very...
