The Nest that Hatched the Egg

This looks like a cool movie...focusing on Mary Surratt, the first woman in the US to be victim to the death penalty. She was called "The Nest that Hatched the Egg" in reference to the plot to assassinate Lincoln.

And He Works Without a Net!

Here is Jack, our 1.5 year-old dare devil. In a matter of moments, he can turn the average toy into a death defying contraption. All this fearless curiosity makes me wonder what he'll do with all his courageous energy when he grows up. I love this guy!

Dining In

This post is a HUGE pat on the back for Brant and I.  When we lived outside of Kansas City attending graduate school, we found it hard to cook and eat at home.  Time, schedules, projects, our suburban location, etc kept luring us into the fast food joints and restaurants that surrounded us.  We were literally spending hundreds of dollars a month on top of grocery money I was spending.

Well...........
I have to report that in the last 2 weeks, we have used our bank card only twice to dine out!!! Thats 40 bucks rather than 150!

Yay for us!

Mrs. Edwards & Frl. Kussin (boxing) 1912

I was asked to make some drawings for an interior design project (thanks Meg!) and thought I'd share one of the final drawings. I really enjoy researching a topic when I make drawings...if possible. This project dealt with women and sports, so I went to the internet and looked up historic women's sports. This lead me to this famous image of two women boxing. I learned a little about these two particular women and their boxing match on March 7, 1912. I also learned a bit about women's boxing and the fact that it's taken over 200 years for it to be taken seriously. I'm not sure if I'm correct, but the London Olympics of 2012 might finally include it as a sport rather than an exhibition. Please make comments if I'm completely wrong about any of those facts...I can take a hit! :)
