bonFIRE!



So, I am back. I wasn't on media blackout the whole time but I it's hard to get around to updating all of my blogs since i don't have my own laptop anymore... perhaps I'll do a series of my dead beloved ibook. Anyway, here are some photos from last night...

Road Trip!




Jess and I right before we took a wrong turn thanks to google and go an hour out of our way!



Feet after arrival last night!

Our First Book Club!


This is by far not one of my best photos. I borrowed Jess's camera which I was totally not used to. So, this is the best one of the three I took. Oh well. It documents the day nonetheless.

Josiah's Team Won the Space Day Challenge! (Tues)



Out of 200 teams across the U.S., Josiah's team came in first overall! Woohoo!
The reward is a trip to Washington DC with a banquet honoring the winners and an opportunity to meet various astronauts and congressman. They also will have their project displayed at the Space and Aeronautical Museum for the days they are present.

Indulge Me: Jalissa or Deff... You Decide!





Sorry, I just had to post more from Saturday night at Jess's house. I thought this had a photo booth feel. Being at Jess's with Jeff really made me realize that Jeff and I need to get out of our house and out with others more often. We had a great time and it was very relaxing.

Jess's House: My Eye View...



Amanda checking in with Jess after playing store with our kids. Our kids play a very advance version of store. When they get together they bring small toys, trinkets, rocks, and money and whatever else they have and set up stands in order to buy and sell from each other. It's quite advanced. Jeff's playing with Jess's camera.



This is a typical facial and hand expression that Jess does when telling about something that frustrates her. I love it. I tried to catch her when she was actually doing it but had to make her do it again because the first ones were too blurry.



This is Jess's new tattoo. Well, new and old. The dove was already there in b/w but a couple weekends ago she went back into the parlor and had the flowers and color added... pretty huh? I think the flowers are mustard flowers but I could be wrong.

Day 57- Chinese New Year







Friends of ours from college invite us to their family Chinese New Year dinner each year. It's great fun but slightly bittersweet since two friends of ours don't attend it anymore and I miss their presence.

Sunday Breakfast Tradition... Day 24

Remnants of a breakfast well eaten.



On most Sundays either after church or in place of church, we eat breakfast out at our neighborhood greasy spoon. The usual fare: creamed chipped beef on wheat with home fries smothered in onions and the kids almost always pork roll, egg and cheese on a bagel. Today, Chaya made the rare switch to one of the specials, a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes.



And, this is Marianne. She has been our main waitress for most of the 7 years that we've been going there. I love her. She always has a smile on her face, usually knows what all of us are going to order unless we go for one of the specials, and always asks how we are. This isn't the best photo of her because I didn't want to take her photo without her permission although I did snap one right before she came over to our table. She happily obliged as you can see but not without asking why. I explained the project and told her that she is our most favorite waitress and that we will miss her when she plans to quit later this spring. I think she is almost finished paying off her house and thus the reason she can quit. I will miss her smiling face and joyful disposition.
