My birthday was Saturday and it was a wonderful day. Andy and the girls and I went to the big farmers market in Greensboro and got some wonderful veggies and fruit. In fact I am eating some of the blackberries we got right now. We grilled some chicken and some corn we got at the market. The girls helped to shell 3 pounds of crowder beans and we had them as well. C & J's favorite part was our trip to Dioli's bakery. Everyone got to pick a treat. I got a slice of peanut butter cheesecake. Andy got a slice of tiramasu cheesecake. The girls each choose a cupcake with more icing than I have ever seen. We still have half of each in the fridge!
I love breakfast food more than anything so we went out to brunch yesterday after church. Mom and dad came as well as Jarrett and his girlfriend, Miriam. It was a wonderful brunch. We were outside and it was a beautiful afternoon. The girls got to order for themselves for the first time and they chose very differently. Usually I order a meal and split it between them, but this was special. Carly chose chocolate chip pancakes and Joiner chose an egg and cheese croissant. I was sure they would want what the other had, but I was wrong. They contentedly ate what they so proudly ordered.
The first pictures were taken with my new camera.
