Services Week is the UK government’s annual event series to celebrate what we have achieved so far and take a look at the work ahead of us. As part of the cross-government event series, more than 85 events took place in more than a dozen locations across England and Scotland.
Between 3 to 7 February, local government, central government, devolved government, arm’s length bodies and parts of the NHS ran events. Thousands of public servants participated, either in-person or remotely.

We're having a boy!!! I cannot wait to raise a baby boy. I think I was bred to raise a son. I'm a Boy's Momma for sure. This is going to be awesome!
This week's challenge was to critique our own photo editing...and redo. I set this shot up several times and played with all kinds of compositions before I settled on one of the simpler ones. I will still be looking for a better background...this bench is too narrow. Without Lightroom I did all my editing in PSE10 including some minor changes in hue and levels and adding a warming filter. I also added two of Kim Klassens textures, Desert and Subtly Yours. I still find it a bit dark along the bottom edge but preferred it to some of my other edits.
Woefully overdue for a belly shot. Totally missed the 35-week mark. Technically, I'm 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant here.
Tadpoles in Week 3 - jelly sacs split open or have been under attack from larvae.
They have hatched at different times and some are still little black dots inside their protective jelly sacs whilst others have grown tails and are swimming about.
There is a tadpole in this short clip playing submarines as it learns about buoyancy.
A couple of hard frosts may have taken a toll on the eggs in their jelly sacs.
The local Mexican restaurant at the end of our street goes all out for Halloween. We walked down for lunch with Jenny and Dani 15 minutes before they opened today, otherwise, it's a 45 minute wait to get in during this time of the year.
For the group 52 in 2013.
The 66th Security Forces Squadron hosted several events May 16 through 20 as part of this year's annual National Police Week. National Police Week pays recognition to federal and local law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
I'm so tired.
Sometimes I wonder if anybody out there is really genuine. Everybody just seems so two-faced and wants to backstab somebody, anybody else. My so-called friends think to themselves how to hurt me the most, and I don't know how much better they could have done.
At least I know now, and I can actually hang out with people that accept me, truly love me, and don't want to hurt me.
Thank God for them.
if you don't lightbox this you've wasted your time looking at this. furreal.

My ideal photo for this week would have been a particular shot I took two weeks ago. Obviously, I couldn't submit that one so had to look for something else. Travelling to work this week I noticed that the train stations have convex mirrors that the drivers use for looking back along the platform. So I decided to capture a reflected image in one of these mirrors at my local station.
Although it is obviously processed it is only the one photo. The processing was very quick and simple. I selected the mirror, then blurred and removed colour from everything else. Finally, I slightly adjusted the saturation in the mirror image to make it pop a bit.
Week 1: As we move into the New Year I once again finding myself making resolutions. This year its around getting back into shape. I'll enjoy these 3 Innis and Gunn because they may be my last for a while.
So here I am posing next to a Ferrari in the Cameron Frye House (aka Ben Rose House). I think we all remember the scene of the car crashing through the window in Ferris Bueller Day's Off. I bought tickets for the Highland Park Housewalk. It was a bit disappointing in terms of organization but the houses were amazing. This shot as well as the others I took that day remind me why I need to buy a better camera, which I hope to do in the next week. Also, why I am doing that with my boots? Tyra would totally hate this pose for America's Next Top Model...she would say I look amputated. I'd have to agree.

this week has been gorgeous with just a few showers.
our alliums and tulips we planted in the fall are starting to pop through the soil. they are looking great and we're pretty happy we did something right.
as you can see doug and i went to the garfield park conservatory. this is my favorite room, the desert house, with all it's fantastic cacti and succulents. we always spend the most time in this room and we usually are the only people in there. of course, the rest of the conservatory is amazing as well.
other than that i feel like this week has been a little low key, which is always nice. other than the trip to two malls and stops to a few shops just to look for shoes. i don't really do shopping like this but sometimes you have to find the most perfect shoes for the best events... like my friends wedding :)
oh yes, we did go to a friends art show... it was really cool. i love having so many artistic people in my life. they are all awesome.
Olive has such a joyful approach to life. She's not one of those kids who enters every new experience smiling. It still can take her some time to put both feet in but when she does she thoroughly squeezes every ounce of pleasure from an experience.
We eat dinner every night as a family and it is almost always a great way to end the day. She loves to eat and takes such enjoyment in it. A simple meatball dinner can turn into a 45 minute love affair between a toddler and her divided plate. She devours meatballs. Cuts down forests of broccoli trees. Demands more parmesan cheese. Slurps up long spaghetti noodles. And the sauce! She's insatiable! She was literally eating Ryan's homemade pasta sauce from the pot with a spoon.
Because she tackles her dinner with such gusto and because we tend to let her eat messy things on her own and in big chunks, we usually take her shirt off at the table. Lately she's been taking it off for us. Apparently we've trained her so well that she takes her shirt off at all tables, no matter where they are, including at Chipotle and at the snack table at school.
Olive had a great visit with her Gram this past week and though we're always sad to see her leave, Olive continues to love her trips to the airport. She loves taking the bus from the parking lot, people watching in line at security and running around the mostly empty new concourse. I asked Ryan if it would look suspicious to bring Olive to the airport to play a few times a week. Seems like the perfect solution to the upcoming winter afternoon conundrum.
We braved Costco on a Sunday and let Olive pick out a couple Carter's costumes. I couldn't think of anything I wanted her to be this Halloween so we brought over a few selections and her two favorites were the blue monster and the strawberry. She made a pile behind her in the cart and created a nest with them. In the car, she clutched the blue monster costume and asked to wear it as soon as we got home. And thus a new obsession was born.
She wore that costume for three days straight. She wore it to Gymboree, the grocery store and out to waffles with friends. She wore it on our walk in the morning and out with daddy later.
I couldn't love her more even if I tried.
We had an amazing week, because, blissfully, that's what happens after an awful week. The good weeks keep you present, mindful and willing to give a little extra every day. I read somewhere that the best thing you can do for your child is to look at them with awed love every time they walk into the room. It's pretty easy most days, but you need the good weeks to remind you of that when they've bit your finger so hard it turns purple or spent the entire day whining.
The week didn't start off so amazing though, when I landed on Wednesday, I will admit that a sizable part of me wanted Olive to miss me. I small part whispered that maybe in my absence the word mama might reenter her vocabulary. Of course, at 14.5 months, Olive does't notice that people come and go, only that she is constantly loved by whoever is holding her. She and her dad had a great time while I was away and while she was happy to see me, it was no more than she is every morning when Ryan brings her into our room.
I made the mistake of taking her to the park to join our playgroup in some fun. She was out of sorts and whining the entire time. I had the kid who just would not stop crying. I might distract a few giggles out of her but they wouldn't last. I should have stayed at home and let her get readjusted to having me back. A lesson learned for next time.
We left the dirty dishes and unfolded laundry behind for a long weekend away at my parent's house. My mom and dad made the three hour drive to see us nearly every other weekend for the last year. It's not easy with my mom's work schedule, and often they would only be able to visit for 24 hours. Their visits were always looked forward to and so, so appreciated. This summer we'd like to make more trips to Marion to repay their kindness. Olive loves it there and adores her grandparents.
She spent hours on their deck playing at the water table, splashing in an inflatable pool or just relaxing in the swing my dad put up. She cuddles with my mom and laughs and smiles at my dad. Months ago she used to be able to say Gaigai and she rediscovered the word this week. She also learned to say up, so now that's what she calls me. It's the bossiest command that you've ever heard.
We went to the beach and it was perfect. She loved the sand and collecting shells in her bucket. She even got into a little tidal pool and didn't seem to notice that the water was freezing. We swapped out her clothes and let her play until she was all done. Walking in that soft sand must have been quite a work out for her little toddler legs because the next day, they kept collapsing from underneath her.
All week she ODed on fresh strawberries from the farm that I've been stopping at for years. I've been looking forward to giving Olive these fresh, local berries since she started showing such an enthusiasm for them. It's perfectly situated between Charlotte and Marion and we always stop there to let her and Finn get out and run.
On the way home, we didn't need to make that stop because she slept soundly the whole drive.
