Laura just spoils me! Last week we had a few people over for dinner and Laura made a delicious meal (homemade chipotle meatballs, baked asparagus, and sweet potatoes) and then served this giant brownie as desert. Doesn’t this look like something you’d get at a restaurant?

Baked asparagus and peppers stuffed with corn, black beans, spinach, and sausage. Can you tell that Laura and I like vegetables? I love our cooking adventures!

Laura: Lena, come look at Steph’s wedding invitation! Me: Oh, they look great … hm, wanna know something weird?Laura: What?Me: I know exactly what kind of paper this is. Neenah, felt finish, natural white, 80 lbs cover. Laura: Wow. Me: I know. SCAD has brainwashed me. Stephanie is one of Laura’s life-long friends from Minnesota. Even though Stephanie and I have never met, I’ve heard enough to know that she has excellent taste. And her wedding invitation is the perfect example. Classy and pretty but never boring. Congrats to Steph and Erik!

So I finally finished Laura’s birthday present. I’m only a few months late (her birthday is a bit after Halloween). But better late than never? … Right?

Anyhow, I made her a min-book called Things We Love: “Inspired by Kate Spade’s book of the same title, these pages are filled with things we love. While Kate’s book is a tribute to style and fashion, this one is a tribute to us. Happy birthday.”

"I wonder if I should wear my bulldog pants or my reindeer pants?"

—

Laura considering which pair of fuzzy PJs she should wear. If you couldn’t tell, our house is getting chilly,

It’s only October and the reindeer won. Someone’s excited for Santa.

"She’s like 9 feet tall! And she’s wearing like 9 feet tall shoes! That makes her a 22 foot tall person!"

— David, commenting on Laura’s height when she wore 4 inch wedges to dinner. I tried to correct him and explain that 9 and 9 does not equal 22 but he wouldn’t listen.

"My mom thought I was tired when I started bawling uncontrollably at a wedding. But really a boy kissed me and I ran away. I was three."

— Laura. I believe this was how she found her life mantra, “And then I had to run away.”
