First. Pick. Dada.

Today Ella and I were driving in the car and I told her we were going to pick up daddy and then take dinner to some friends who just had a baby. Two minutes later I heard her pipe up from the back seat:

"First. Pick. Dada.

Then. Go. Pool.

Okay?!"

Apparently she didn't think our friends needed dinner.

I've been MIA for the last couple of months while I made one last push to finish my master's thesis. A couple of weeks ago I presented and defended my thesis--and I passed! Unfortunately, I missed the deadline for August graduation by one week, so the degree will officially post to my transcript in December. But, for all intents and purposes, I have finally earned my Master's degree in Nutritional Science!

In the meantime, here are some things that happened around here and a list of posts to come:

Blair's Birthday

Florida Wildlife

Ella's Birthday at Home
