dressed up.

we went out to a fancy pants dinner last weekend to celebrate darren's birthday. no sneakers, no jeans and no t-shirts allowed. that eliminates most of isaac's wardrobe, but we did manage to find these duds. isaac knew they made him handsome, and eagerly obliged every request for a photo with a big "cheeeeeeese!!"...

the deck... better camera.

derek finished up the deck this weekend. here are some shots of the finished product. well, almost finished. we need to put in some more handrails that meet code...

 

The deck.

Having world wide web problems with my computer, so here are some pics of the completed deck from my phone.

dan nicholas park

he headed to salisbury, nc yesterday for a little birthday celebration for our friend, april. of course, it was more for the kids to run around and play (and get worn out)... but that's a good gift, nonetheless.

here are a few shots (more at picasa):

cora's cake

hello.

i made this cake awhile back, but i forgot to take pictures, so cora's parents gladly took a few and posted them to facebook. i subsequently hi-jacked them and posted them here.

the cake was for cora's 2nd birthday. i had a little help from my mom's neighbor who used to dabble in cake decorating herself. she did the cursive writing, which is NOT my strong point. i can print like a champ, though. anyhooo.... i noticed in the picture that we forgot to put leaves on some of the daisies. i'm a little sad about that... anyhoooo... here are the pictures:
