This week in pictures | Jan 13-Jan 19, 2014 (the Portia edition)

Birthday girl was all smiles:


and twirls:


Then the girl with kaleidoscope eyes went to school:


She doesn't realize yet that she's the center of every boy's attention:


They go crazy for her saber tooth-like pig tails:


On her birthday there was snow:


a crowned coronation ceremony:


and elements of love, nature, and pre-historic fantasy:


Did you know she has the most ideal mouth of any growing 3 year old? "An aligned overbite with perfectly, spaced straight teeth," as told by her dentist:


People say she gets her eyes from me:


Her arms may be small but big enough to show love and warmth:


Master of puzzelry she is:


Serving me a diverse lunch menu is one of her specialties:


Her fascination with technology creates imagination in random things like a calculator which she calls her "ipad":


Boots.  She knows love when she sees it:


There are no words for that PUCKER:


All she asked for on her birthday was "a candle and a cake, Mama":


I hope this is what she envisioned and more:


Balloons popped. Candles blown.  David was back at work.  The celebration was over.

Procrastinating:


Coffee and liquorice (not licorice).  R-rated snack when the kids are at school:


Trying to fix something that's broken? Answer: throw them away (or donate them)!!


I bought 3 lbs of avocados.  OK, maybe it was more like 8 lbs:




Isn't coming home to a surprise delivery at your back door THEE BEST! Especially when it's from my Daddy:


Two guys walk into a noodle bar...


Trying to channel my inner Jade Alex:


Cuban indulgence:

Versailles

Happy "MLK" weekend!
