Awesome, right?
I know I’m doing the posts in reverse order.. This year Father’s Day was on the 16th.
But The most important thing to note is that we did not smoosh Chief’s Father’s day in with Chief’s Birthday. Two separate events.
Yay us.
We surprised Chief at an old favorite, Picante.
The trick was, we went a day early.
It’s okay, Chief isn’t picky.
And yeah, we got one with Nanu too! :)

As Lucy would put it, “Gorgeous!!”
It’s a chick flick for you. A slideshow! I just love it!

In case you want the doll, or one like it anyways, prepare to dig deep into your wallet… The doll maker (Artist?) is Jess Brown. Read a nice article about her.
(When Lucy gets this age, I’m so doing this.)
I am diving into a new website, full of eye candy and inspiration. Its called pinterest.com.
Users create photo bookmarks of things they love, and organize them on inspiration “boards”.
You can post things you have, or find, or you can re-post from others’ boards.
Here are a couple of screen shots of my boards (click to see larger):

Below, part of my “Weddings” board.
The site isn’t without problems. It has lots of functionality bugs – probably due to growing pains. And, it relies on people to credit the right sources (which they don’t – at least not reliably). Actually, it’s bit of an attribution nightmare.
On the plus side, it’s socially networked (which makes it fun), and there isn’t any ugly advertising. It’s a great idea – collections upon collections of beautiful things.
She was making funny squawking sounds when we looked at these, by a young American photographer Andrew Zuckerman…

Chief brought along his camera, in order to take these portraits.
