Bernadette's Belated Birthday

Dog bone shaped cake topped with cream cheese and cashew butter. 

Even the cat was interested, to Sweet B's dismay!

Mission Accomplished

Houseguest Status

Due to some bathroom renovations, Barrett's parents have welcomed he and I to stay with them as we prepare to leave for our fishing trip. 

I slept in Emma's room and of course there were flowers!

The feline host, Albert, joined Barrett and I for some snuggles while we watched Scandal. He asked a lot less questions than Barrett.

One more month!!!

Flashback: adventures in babysitting

MC chewed her fingers, the boys feasted on Rice a Roni. It was good times.

Encroachment

Two does and two spotted fawns in my backyard this evening. Hope they don't mess with my illegal burn pile (bottom right).

Parallel Practicing

Living in downtown areas for several years made me more comfortable with parallel parking, but DC presented a new challenge yesterday. With the help of a long term resident, I was able to squeeze my rental car in this spot. I learned that one must leave 3 inches in front and behind or a ticket can be written. Maybe   I'll just take the metro.
