Hey everyone
We went to the mall and at Sears we let Arabella sit in the car display they had out. She looked amazed. Then we took a trip over to the Glendale campus for Central for Church. It was nice because Arabella wanted to be fed and they didn’t have a nursing area- instead, they unlocked the pastor’s office and let us use that until we were done.
The picture of Arabella with purple glasses was a silly photo we took while at Babies R Us. She looked pretty cute in the sun glasses (but wouldn’t keep them on for long).
Speaking of Silly, I think she is silly because sometimes when she is sleeping on my chest her little hand reaches up and just holds my goatee. Silliness abounds – Jake loves watching the birds and really anything with the type of blinds we have. He can just mosey on up and push them out of the way for front-row viewing.
The boy (Jake) still liked to be anywhere near Arabella. I’m telling you – best friends those two are. In our condo, they have a swimming pool so we decided to take the girl swimming. If she is going to be living in Arizona she better learn how to swim.
We still go on drives here and there – we took a trip up north a little and on our way back we got some Starbucks. Not really worth mentioning except that they had a huge Kokopelli next door. I grabbed a photo of it – I ended up making the wife proud.
At work, our car was hit. I don’t know how and had to go to the security guard the next day to see if they could find out who did it. I ended up asking around and it was someone that I work with. Tyree (I have mentioned him before) said it was an accident and as he was backing out he didn’t notice that he hit me. He mentioned having left a note on my hood, but I suppose it got blown away. Either way, he said he would take care of the damages. He knows a guy who would fix it for a few hundred dollars, or we could do insurance. I thought it would be better to go through insurance even though I don’t love that idea either.
Here is a quick photo of my hours being submitted for the day before I headed off for the weekend. Arabella is seen floating in the pool on a raft-type thing that we got her. She really likes the water. A few more random photos of her for good measure (her getting on a ride at the mall, and falling asleep in the front pack I wear while we look around in stores).
I am really on a roll with sharing more work photos as of late. A couple more are below – one of the front gates (you have to badge in to get inside the parking area), and a beautiful Sunset that I captured… along with my reflection.
If you look you will see our car going for an estimate to get repaired at Sanderson Auto body. They apparently are a good place to take your car to, so I will let you know how that turns out.
We have begun watching a new TV show (at least it is new to us). Big Love (it is on HBO). The show ended in 2011, but that is only a few years ago and we really didn’t hear anything about it when it was on. It is really well made. Right now we are binge-watching it.
What else? hmm… well, We found a new Sushi spot that actually has affordable sushi. Why is that so hard to find? It really shouldn’t be. This one is located over in Glendale and I think it may be our new spot to go to.
just Pray
