This and That

**This smile is one I rarely see in front of the camera from Tiny. Normally she srunches her eyes nearly closed. Apparently it takes my fabulous BFF, Nancy, to bring it out in her. Which means, clearly, that Nancy will have to be in all of our family photos from now on. Too bad she takes most of them. :)



**That concert was amazing. Seriously, if you haven't heard of "The Avett Brother", check them out. They move my soul. Rockstar laughs when I say this, but there is no irony in my voice!

**Does this phase look familiar to anyone else? Experiments in gravity!!







**This article certainly warrants consideration. I've long tried to avoid holding my cell phone close to my head, despite no consensus in the research about whether this is dangerous. This study quantified that something is happening, even if we don't know yet quite what. Part of why we keep our landline is so that we don't always have to use our cell phones for longer conversations at home. Until we know for sure what we're dealing with, it doesn't hurt to take precautions.

**That Rockstar is such a good breakfast-maker. If we have extra bread from dinner (like the whole wheat sourdough from last night), Rockstar likes to turn it into french toast instead of letting it turn to a too-hard-to-use waste.



**This one friend of mine gave me a great tip. She puts whipped cream on her kids' french toast or pancakes instead of syrup. It has way less sugar than syrup and seems just as exciting. We prefer to layer peanut butter, applesauce, and whipped cream.




**That kind of exuberance is what I want to aim for next week. And, you know, just in general.



**This face melts me into a puddle. And if you are wondering why most of my pictures of Lil' Drummer take place in his highchair, it might be because that's the only time he sits still long enough for me to snap a decent one. :)



Happy Weekend!
