leon's full service in decatur

day out with kimberly.

of course we had breakfast at Alon's first,

but then we also got to try out this restaurant

in decatur that i've been wanting to visit. it

was so super cute. not enough vegetarian

options, sadly, but my salad was good,

and the company was the best and that's

what matters. 

:)

another lunch date

lunching with a new friend...

at alons, of course! 

which means: gruyere panini and salty, crispy fries

and new friend, who is so pretty and sweet and sporty!

makes my heart happy:)

lunch date at west egg.

had a lunch date at west egg over in home park

with a new(ish) friend ... oh my, what's better

than a lunch date on a friday afternoon? 

i keep finding all sorts of new reasons

for us to move down into the middle of town.

like, eating breakfast at west egg every weekend!

by the way, anyone want to guess (no looking it up!)

what that name is referencing? 

no prizes, just the knowledge that you are a 

very smart person indeed. or at least you

paid attention in high school english ;)

check out our delicious food:

(you're salivating aren't you?)

an afternoon with friends

lunch with a good friend

(and her beautiful babies!)

i had a lovely afternoon hanging out with a wonderful friend...

i was supposed to be helping her get their house ready for sale, but 

we spent most of the time eating lunch (yummy red lentils!), drinking lots of coffee,

smiling at the tired tots, and wrapping a present for a birthday party. 

probably the best day of my break! i wish i didn't have to go back to school...

thanks for such a nice time, friends -

i miss you already!

ahhhhhhhh. (big sigh of relief)

last day of winter quarter! 

took my last final today. 

and had a celebratory class lunch afterwards. 

we don't normally look this happy ;)

whatever am i going to do with a whole week of no school??

nos chêrs amis.

dear friends, margaret, paul, baby luke & milo!

today was wonderful because we got to have some of my favorite people over for lunch.

they live way up in another state and i never get to see them, 

so it was very, very special. 

i only wish we could have spent more time together. 

Lars was really excited to meet their dog, Milo (although i don't think Milo felt the same way), 

and he enjoyed having baby Luke chase him around the living room...

it's one of his first interactions with a baby. he still doesn't know what to think of little people.

 10-month-old Luke was completely fearless:)

we had a yummy lunch and sweet conversation. 

i feel so happy. (and yet sad to see them go)

bad hair day, one of my favorite people and Luke's cute grumpy-tired-face

cute family. Milo is like a cat!

baby Luke

isn't their baby, Luke, the most precious baby you've seen?

i think he's pretty swell. i might want one just like him.
