It was a sunny 75ish in Tulsa today, to nice to stay at home and follow
our plans of working on the house which included painting, sanding,
nailing, staining, or whatever else needs to be done in the never
ending house renovation. So Josh changed out of his work clothes (I
guess I never intended to work on the house since I didn’t even put on
work clothes
) and we headed downtown to the Tulsa Mayfest.

Forget the pictures of the food vendors, musicians, dancers, and artisans… this alley was way more interesting. Or at least it was shady, not in a suspicious way but actual shade from the sun. I guess noon was probably not a good time to take liesurly strolls with a 9 month old baby. Thanks Joanna for calling and telling us about it, wish we would have met up with you there!
You can see a few more pictures of the alley here.

We’ve been trying to teach Sebastian some table manners during his meals. We tried to teach him to say yes by nodding his head, or by saying “more” in sign language, or to say “si”, but somehow he has decided that squinting his eyes accompanied by some odd squeaking means “YES”.
Here he is saying “YES”
The weekend is here and I meant to put up some pictures of last weekend. We cooked 18 quarts of chili…yes 18 for the chili cook-off at the church. We took Sebastian along- he was part of our table decor ;). He wore the Fire Station Chief hat.

Maggie got this old camera from her parents, I forget the name, I’ll have to update this when I find out, but it didn’t have film, and I’m not even sure you can get it anymore.
Anyway, this is easy, use the old camera, but here’s the trick. Hold a digital camera up to the old camera lense.
Here’s the result, cool huh.

This was Sebastian’s first long trip and his first time to meet some of his family. He loved every minute of all the attention he received. He is a lucky little boy to have such a wonderful family. He did miss meeting a lot of other family members but he will be making another trip back soon
Here’s some pictures of his visit.

The closer my eyeball gets to my watch the better I remember what I was suppose to do.
This was done for the “remember” topic in this weeks Illustration Friday
