52 weeks of daily life in pictures: trials and celebrations, 

the extraordinary and mundane -- 
whatever is unique to the week. 
Join me if you like.

Our week started on Friday with the city's fireworks display. The hospital foundation sponsors a big party for donors and we have to love to go (since it's Doug's office and he has to meet donors). Faith loves this party because it's very kid-friendly. She went and got her face painted (without permission!) and I was a little bit shocked when she came back to our table. She asked to look like a kitty, but I think she looks maybe like an hooker circus kitty.

We had a really busy holiday weekend and my only excuse for not getting pictures is...I was cooking! I tried to get better about remembering my camera this week, but I failed again! Not one picture of the kids setting off fireworks. ugh
And those photos I did take seem to be out of focus. Something is up with my camera.

 Doug and Faith -- Doug was grilling pork tenderloins on Sunday night.

My mom, enjoying a glass of Gewürztraminer.

The dessert table on Sunday. After I took the picture my mom brought two big platters of Apple Dumplings. Yum!

A daily serving of fruit -- strawberry margarita.

 Faith has been sick this week -- a sore throat and low fever.
Day 1

Working on more baby quilts -- for twin girls expected next door!

Faith and I watched this version of Heidi -- what a sweet movie, and a great way to spend a "sick" afternoon.  (note: there is a "startling" scene at the beginning of the movie that explains the death of Heidi's parents; not appropriate for really young children; after that scene the movie is perfect for all ages)

Day 2. We shall see if there is a Day 3

 Some homemade peach ice cream always feels better on a sore throat. You'll find my recipe on my food blog...soon!
