Dinner with Lizzie and Josh

I had dinner at Lizzie and Josh's house last night. Those two are so cute...they cook dinner together every night! I watched while they worked at the stove together, figuring out which spices to use and how to season the vegetables and what to toss with the pasta. And it all turned out delicious!

Lizzie will probably kill me for using this picture, but it's just too cute not to share.

The Gelbaughs!

I made a trip out to Houston today for some wedding errands and stopped by my friend Tracy's house afterwards.


Tracy and me :)

















Tracy's son Deion, who was one of my students at Shadowbriar way back in 2003.













And Tracy's little boy, John, who is the sweetest baby in the world, and their dog, Latte (who is also one of the sweetest doggies!)

Texas Skyscape

One thing I will always love about Texas is the wide open sky. I love being able to see the entire sky during a sunset and I love the dramatic change of light when a thunderstorm is approaching. This picture that I shot as I was leaving Michael's today is a perfect example. I will always love New York for many reasons, but the skyscapes of Texas are unmatched!

Little Miss Ninja

I had dinner with Jena and Emma tonight. After dinner, Emma dressed up in her Ninja Halloween costume for us and entertained us by dancing to her Barenaked Ladies cd "Snack Time", this great cd written for kids. As usual, she had Jena and I in stitches.














Emma loves being in front of the camera!

































I love how I accidentally captured Rocky having his way with the pillow in the background.













What a cute little dancing Ninja!

Georgie Pics

John sent me these cute pictures of Georgie over the phone yesterday. He's taking really good card of her while I'm in Texas.


Georgie loves to give kisses!













She also met another beagle while on a walk with John the other day.

Faith Presbyterian Celebration

I spent the day at our church in Baytown, Faith Presbyterian, helping out with their big Celebration day to honor the opening of the new building a few weeks ago. Luckily, the weather as nice and cool and very fall-ish. There were hot dogs, popcorn, and snow cones, a cake walk, a moon walk, face painting (which was the station I helped with), and two live bands. It was a lot of fun.


Here's a picture of my mom working the face painting table while I took a break.

Dinner at Antonio's

Tonight I shared with my mom and Richard their Friday night tradition of going to Antonio's for dinner. They are regulars at this place and are greeted by their first names by the owner when they arrive.

Tonight we all ordered the special which was Rosemary Chicken stuffed with parmesan and topped with a creamy asparagus, spinach, and tomato sauce with whole wheat pasta. Despite the fact that my sinus cold took over my sense of taste half way through the meal, it was still wonderfully delicious!
