Les Misérables




We had a great time watching Les Miserables last night in Meridian. Hearing the songs brought back memories of riding with Mom & Jill while they sang through the soundtrack. Anyway, I thought that the thespians of Stage 2 theater group did an excellent job.

Here are some photos we took after the show (The last one is of Rita in costume).

A deadly combination.



Well it's late, so I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. Work has been INSANE lately! Everyone has been working really hard, so to say thank you I made these lovely cupcakes. Last time I made cupcakes a few people said I never make chocolate, so I thought I would indulge the chocolate lovers with Oreo and Health Bar toppings. Originally I planned on making chocolate icing as well, but I decided that might be a little much. It's all a little much for me, considering I don't like chocolate :)

Franklin's Big Boy Bowl

About a month ago Pete and I decided it was time for Franklin to stop using our condiment cups as food and water bowls. Keep in mind that when we brought him home we were feeding him from a bottle, yes a bottle! Then again, he could also fit in the palm of our hand. It was so sweet, yesterday when Franklin's new dish came in the mail he got so excited! To put the old bowls into perspective; the new dish is 4 inches tall! He's still getting used to the new bowl...he takes the food out of the bowl, puts it on the ground and then eats it. He'll get the hang of it eventually. Oh, I almost forgot...the bowl was handcrafted from a lovely family owned shop on etsy called Woodin' You. Please support America's small businesses :)

Simply Lovely

My sister and my gorgeous nephew, Aiden came to visit me last night. It just need to say that Aiden is the most beautiful child in the world. We were eating dinner last night and I could not help but stare at him...I mean, he is simply lovely! I wish I had a camera to capture these moments.

This is completely random, but Franklin has gotten so big!

Before & After

In a previous post I mentioned that Pete wanted to shave his head....well, he did it! Here are the before and after shots. I really really loved his long hair (comparatively speaking), but the shaved head is growing on me :) It's hard to say which style I like best, because they are both so different. He loves it and thinks it makes him look more professional. Whatever makes him happy...change is good!

Franklin & Sadie

Franklin Jack Bauer Willis has grown up so fast! Yes, that is his whole name...Pete's only a little obsessed with 24. Here's a video I took of him today playing with Sadie (Pete's mom's 150lb Mastiff). It is truly amazing how gentle Sadie is with Franklin. By the way, did you notice Pete's new haircut!!! I will post before and after pictures very soon.
