Monday Morning Mia

First, a very happy birthday to Ben! Right now his birthday cake is baking in the oven, and his dinner is getting ready to marinate. Hopefully we'll have a relaxing family dinner on our patio--the weather couldn't be better.

We had a great weekend. Mia's grandparents came to visit, and Ben and I got a night out. We saw No Man's Land, a play by Harold Pinter. It was very cryptic but really well acted and interesting. We're still not positive what it was about, but in reading a little more about the play we found out that no one actually knows so we feel better. Before the play we dined here and had an amazing dinner. We're still talking about how good it was.

We got a lot of yardwork done this weekend. We'll take some photos, but Ben really cleaned up our front yard, which has both laurel and holly, and I got some vegetables and herbs planted in the back. Hopefully everything will grow and we'll be able to enjoy a Mediterranean feast at summer's end.

Here's a photo of Mia taken by her grandfather. I think it really captures Mia.
