Birthday boy

Ann and Brody came down to celebrate Eric's 32nd birthday with us last weekend. We watched the Masters and movie and ate lots of good food, including some indulgent b-day treats.

On Friday afternoon, Eric met me at school and we took the MAX into Portland and wandered around for a bit.





We met up with Ron and Cathy and Ann and Brody at The Montage, a great Cajun place under the Morrison Bridge. We hadn't been there since Sarah's birthday a few years back. I love that they make foil sculptures with your leftovers inside.

A few blocks away is the Miracle Theater, where we saw How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, based on the novel. It was an excellent play!

The lovebirds:

Spring is full swing here! Flowers are blooming everywhere--especially tulips! They remind me of home. And neighbors are outside, mowing and playing and just hanging out. I love it.

You take some really stellar photos. What kind of camera do you use?

Thanks! I use a Sony Cybershot... definitely not a photography camera, but I am learning how to get decent shots with it. Your camera is one of those photography and recreational camera use hybrids, haha. It really captures colour and detail well though. What I especially like are your march 7th photographs specifically for the fact that I struggle with water and evening pictures, but you capture it really well!
