Anniversary Dinner

We finally got to celebrate Mom and Dad's 47th anniversary with a special dinner at Michelangelo's in Conway. See anything strange in this picture? Yes, Gracie is wearing glasses. No, they are no real. Fashion statement, evidently.

Here is Jack posing with our appetizer - a mountain of Italian nachos. Dad had veal parmesan, Jack had brick oven pizza, Mom had some portobello/orzo thing, Gray had fettucine alfredo, I had spinach cannelloni, and Pete had lasagna. We were all stuffed!

Thanks for playing along, Dennis and Deidre! Yes, something happened to my car. I decided to play tag with a very large concrete column in the parking garage at the condo building. I lost. But I DID win with my new belated 40th birthday present to myself - my tattoo! Some may recognize this as a replica of the cake topper on our wedding cake. Yes, it hurt like you know what. No, I have zero regrets - I LOVE IT! Yes, Pete loves it also. We were at church for all of two minutes last Sunday before Jack decided to tell the lobby that his mom got a tatoo. And crashed her car.

Jack and Pete made it home safely on Friday afternoon. Nana and Papa Beach - thanks so much for showing Jack such a good time and for taking such good care of him! He continues to tell us about the fun he had, and has shown us all of the pictures he took of your house, your furniture, your toilet, your sink, etc. :)

Our best firework last night was called "The Tailgator"...definitely worth $4.99....Denise
