how to: abstract art

A few times last month I volunteered to grab the garlic, or an onion for dinner at the farmers market down the street. And maybe I had ulterior motives. and maybe that trip also included a quick stop to the Salvation Army that's just a couple blocks down.  The home we're in now is much larger than the homes that we lived in...

pretty, yellow baby things

Family Valentine's Date

As I mentioned in my last post we took Ruby on a special Valentine's Day date, and hopefully the start of a new tradition, to a restaurant that may have not been totally suitable for this nine month old. We knew that it was a nice place, but didn't realize that it would be such a quiet atmosphere, with servers dressed in tuxes,...
