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.
Last weekend we had snow and sunny weather with minus degrees and now we have sunshine and plus degrees and all the snow is gone. Crazy weather.

I think I've reached the end of the line with this particular maternity sweater. I actually heard it sigh with relief when I took it off at the end of the day. Damn dramatic sweater.

As most mom's out there know, there is nothing quite like watching your babies grow up and become their own little person, to watch their personality come through a little more each day. Even if you look at their sweet little face and know that down the road they are going to give you a run for your money. And as much as we went through for this little one, I will enjoy every mess, every giggle when I tell her no, and every future argument we may have when she's a teenager.
She is our Joy after a rainstorm.
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.

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.

Liam met with his friend the Chief of Police Roger and his assistant Doug. Roger explained that if Liam wanted to find the Dragon Wizard he would have to find his brother.
Roger also agreed to take Sally to her father, that way Liam could focus on the mission at hand.

"Faux" ~ def:Adjective
Artificial or imitation: Not genuine; fake or false
You hungry yet? Well don't be getting all excited for these yummy treats. A bite out of this will leave you with a mouthful of plastic/foam and fake glitter.
But honestly, how real do these look? I sent this and a couple more to several family members to help be decide which one to post and they all thought they were real. I thanked my sister this morning for helping in the choosing and then I told her I might return them since I was done with the project and she said, "How can you return them?" LOL Yes, baby sissy....they are "faux" cupcakes!!
So, my daughter and her family will be in their new home by Sept 9th {tear}. Happened so quick. I will be driving down this weekend to visit them and hug them all up, and of course to go the Marc Anthony concert (woot-woot). And then probably next time I see my grand kids, I will be driving to Georgia!!
Now, go off and have yourselves a wonderful rest of the week and fabulous weekend!!!!
Hugs
