Pretty and Not So Much....

Austin normally averages 36 inches of rain a year. One the drive home I heard that we have had almost double that since January - most of it seems like it came just this last two months. We haven't had that many days of sun since moving here... on the last sunny day I tried to capture a picture of our blooming Crape Myrtle trees out front. They looked pretty until the torrential rains came and took away the blooms the next day.

Under the "not so pretty" is Amelia's table manners and dining ettiquette.

We need to work more on less facial smearing.

Hey... We don't have enough paper towels in Washington for the "not so pretty". But we'll get some.

Wow. That's impressive. What was she eating? At least she was enthusiastic about it!

I hear tomato sauce is good for the skin. Exfoliates. Hydrates. Lots of lycopene. Super-good habit!
