a lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. here's a quick re-cap.

- we hosted a friend for a week who came into town for sxsw.
- we dog-sat our favoritest golden-lab for a week.
- vera and i were quite the social butterflies attending 3 birthday parties on one day.
- i had a 'mommy's time out,' hanging out with a friend for happy hour.
- dinner parties in our newly screened outdoor patio
- met up with my sweet friend, emily, who was in houston and is now living the dream on lake tahoe.
- we had a concert in our backyard, featuring local artist, austin collins. 80% were neighbors from our street, which was awesome.
- vera and i flew to indiana for a quick trip to visit family.
- we hosted and cooked dinner, celebrating passover with some close friends.
- vera started baby food.
- vera got her first big bruise (forehead. glass table. flailing child. sad momma.)

- marlow is now wearing short sleeves...er, got a haircut.it's not often that vera has an occasion to wear a dress, so we had plenty to choose from for easter. (you can see the bruise on her forehead here.)

about to eat some bananas.

getting a music lesson from grandpa.grandma loves vera.uncle aaron does, too.

vera is listening to her much older cousin as she reads her a story.
