What We've Been Up To...

Not Much! We miss our baby, but have been enjoying some time without him as well. Here are a few pictures of him before he left.

Eating a bit of breakfast before getting in the car (apparently he ate another bigger breakfast at Sonic after a couple hours on the road).
Giving me a very "Michael" look.
Waiting to get in the car.
All buckled in and ready to head out!
The first thing we did was clean the house top to bottom, including moving furniture and scrubbing baseboards! Fun, huh? Definitely felt good to get it out of the was though!
Part of what we wanted to do while Colin was gone was enjoy a meal out. So, Sunday after church, we had dinner with some friends at a great hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. Then Sunday evening just Michael and I went out for Italian! Here's a (strangely-lit) picture of him.
We were driving around after dinner and there were some gorgeous puffy clouds in the sky. I got a lot of pictures and thought I'd share a few with you.
And finally, one food pic for you. We made fish and tempura vegetables last night. Some of the veggies are from the garden, which is doing wonderfully. I picked (and ate while picking) some sweet peas yesterday (I had forgotten how good that tastes right out of the garden...it was lunchtime, so most of it didn't even make it into the house!), more squash and zucchini, and a couple okra. Any of you who have ever grown okra before know that just a matter of days from having "a few" you'll have a bushel, so I'm looking forward to this weekend when we'll probably be able to make a meal of it!
