Hey everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

just Pray<\/p>\n\n\n\n
