Adam's new scientific instrument

The middle of March brought to Adam's chemistry lab the long-awaited arrival of BORRIS, the custom-made instrument that detects the fluorescence of proteins on a silicon surface (or something like that).

This exciting event inspired me to make a cake for Adam's lab group, in honor of BORRIS. (The instrument has a pyramid shape and is blue, hence the blue frosting.)

Valentines Dinner

This year we got to celebrate Valentines day twice: we had a nice dinner on the 14th, and on the 16th (also our half anniversary) we went out to eat while my visiting teacher babysat. Adam and I enjoyed celebrating together... I have the best valentine in the world!

Gold and Green Ball

Early this February Adam and I attended our stake's Gold and Green Ball. It was so much fun to dress up and have a night out!

Beautiful New Window Treatment

Shauna made us a new window treatment to go in our front window. It looks great and matches the room quite well!

Cutest Jared Picture EVER!

Mamma's Boy

Here are some pictures of our cutie-pie Jared. Notice the fuzz that's coming in on top. His latest tricks are blowing bubbles with his mouth, chewing on things, and sticking his own pacifier back into his mouth. He is still very cuddly, and he likes to rest his head on my shoulder whenever I pick him up.

Curtis Orchard

Last Saturday we went to Curtis Orchard and picked apples! The orchard is just a few miles away from us and they grow every kind of apple you can think of. It's open to the public for apple-picking (they sell them per bag, and the cost ends up being about $1.30/lb... a pretty good price. And they're really tasty!) Jared enjoyed being outside in the nice fall weather, and I enjoyed carrying him in his new Ergo baby carrier. See our Phanfare website for more orchard pictures!
