The garden and the Olive

Billy planted cucumber, squash, okra, and tomatoes yesterday. We're hoping today's rain doesn't wash it all away! This will be our first real garden as a family and I'm excited to have fresh summer veggies.

This evening we celebrated my birthday, again. My all-time fave restaurant is Olive Garden {oh the breadsticks, and oh! the salad}, but the last year or so we've preferred to stay in town rather than drive 30 minutes just to dine.

Raegen was quite the breadstick fan...who isn't?

He was also quite the fan of having his picture taken...

He insisted Billy pick up the camera and take our picture...over and over...you'll see...

As always, the food was delicioso. Yummy goodness.

Raegen and I always share a plate.

and again. {It's different than the previous, scroll up and see.}

And of course we had to get dessert to celebrate.

"I only have eyes for you..."

I think he likes it.

Two hands of cake are better than one...

Divine.

I'm really enjoying this age, though there are moments I dislike it greatly. Thankfully, Raegen was very well behaved tonight. Actually, a couple seated nearby stopped by our table as they were leaving to commend us on his good behavior. I'm thinking they don't have kids; if so, they would have known the pendulum easily swings both ways!
