Sweetpea, new table & driveway mystery


Marci Gave Callie this Sweetpea and she's really been loving on it lately. The nurses called Callie 'Sweetpea' while we were in the hospital and the nickname kind of stuck, we also call her 'pooper' though...


Here is our new table! It's nice and high, which they call 'pub style' and we like it because:
1) It's black.
2) It has what they call a 'butterfly leave', it stores itself under the table so you no longer have to spread out throughout the house in search for the leave that Mom put somewhere, probably under something too heavy to be moved.
3) We got 2 barstools and 4 barstools with backs (apparently when you buy a table that's 'pub style', the chairs are called barstools no matter what style they are).
4) Getting down from the table is a lot easier than getting up from one.
5) It hides our useless fireplace perfectly!




I found a stapled piece of yellow paper in the driveway. It was a piece of granite inside an advertisment, who woulda thought? Of all the things I thought it could be, granite was not one of them. Clever.

Vegas Baby!

We headed to Vegas Friday afternoon and experienced the craziness that is LA traffic to Vegas. It was crazy, we probably averaged 85mph just going with the flow of traffic and had to be super cautious to avoid some crazies and their cars. It was a little stressful, but we made it safe and sound and had an awesome time. We stayed with our college friend Mike Pontin and his fiance and they showed us a great time.
