Brian found my camera cable! The sad thing is that it was hiding in plain sight right next to the computer. Apparently Sick Becky is not so much Perceptive Becky. Well, Brian came home early and found it, give that man a prize!! So now I'm in my happy place. Photos to play with, some great ones that I'd already forgotten about. Both girls are in bed and Brian is playing with a new XBox game so I've got time to play for a little bit. Here are some of the good ones I didn't realize I'd stashed away on the memory card:
S doing a little Cardio Party. She loves that the instructors switch out and she gets to workout with all of them. Her favorite part: Allie, of course.
This was during an impromtu cook out that we had last weekend.
This was from a kit that Aunt M gave S. Thanks M, she LOVES it. This is exactly the kind of project she adores.
Now culinarily speaking it's been quite a month for us. The first one is a spontaneous morning of special pancakes (chocolate, chocolate chips, strawberries and homemade fresh whipped cream). The second is S sucking the juice out of a lemon. She'd had a lime first and no, she's not making an "Ooo this is tart!" face, it's more, "Ooo this is good!" Crazy kid. Can you say, "future margarita fan?" The last is her enjoying our Father's Day cookie, Baci Di Dama ("Ladie Kisses") from the Martha Stewart Cookie recipe book. It's basically chocolate merangues with almonds inside, then sandwiched with heavenly, drippy chocolate ganache. I think we ate most of them before the ganache even cooled. Like I said, heavenly, drippy. The recipe makes a very small batch, by the time you sandwich them you've got a dozen. But it's so worth it-way different than a store-bought merangue. And really this is one of those things that you don't want a lot of, just a delicate bit is perfect. Unless you're B.
B & R just making each other happy.
Some unexpected visitors waddled through the yard.
Guess the sun made this a cozy place to sleep.
I took these because it so happens they have coordinating outfits but it blends in so much with the chair that it's not obvious. I think it's good though because everything fades out but their expressions.
