Updates!

Last weekend was the crabfeast, and Zach's family reunion. The crab feast is an annual work function, with all you can eat crab legs and Maryland blue crab. It is a great time for all and we ate our fill. It was nice to see work friends outside of work.

Sunday was Zach's family reunion which was in a pretty park near his parent's house. It was good to see his family and there was a magician for the entertainment. The magician was pretty good and Zach really enjoyed the animal tricks.

Tuesday was Lauren's last day at one of her jobs. She had a hard time saying goodbye to her students who were all sad to see her go. Lauren's new job is closer to her house and should be fun.

This weekend we really didn't do too much. We went to the movies and saw "Nanny McPhee returns". It was OK Zach enjoyed it but it made Lauren cry a lot. We also found a website that has a list of restaurants with gluten free menus. So we went to Uno's and tried out the gluten free pizza, pretty good and NO tummy ache!

Today we made applesauce!!! It is AMAZING! Lauren's apartment smells mighty yummy :)

Next week we have a lot of plans for the long weekend.

Ciao!

Bands, Fondue, and more!!!

Hi All!

Two weekends ago we saw one of Lauren's favorite bands "Arcade Fire" perform and they were fantastic. The violinist had this awesome hairdo Lauren wants to try where the top of her head is long but the sides and back are shaved. Lauren isn't sure she is bold enough to go that extreme so Zach shaved the back of Lauren's head for her. So far NO ONE has noticed!

We also went to "The Melting Pot" with some friends. It was a time consuming but delicious experience. We were there for four hours(!) eating amazing food and laughing a lot.

We went to National Gallery of Art to walk around and get Gelato. It was a beautiful day to be downtown.

This week Zach worked far too much but is making great strides in his project. Lauren worked and also starting researching new cars as her current car is getting up in years and mileage.

One of Lauren's studios had a BBQ Saturday afternoon which was awesome. Her boss makes some damn fine Virginia BBQ and slaw. We went to the movies this morning (its cheaper!) and saw "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" which was cute albeit long.

MAJOR NEWS!!! The Costco near Lauren is now serving Gelato!!!! The line was too long today to try it out but we are excited by this new development.

We hope this week will be brighter than the last :)

Busy Bees

Hi All!

This week was incredibly busy for both Zach and Lauren. Zach's project CORD is nearing the end which means he is in crunch time ie too much work. Thankfully no trips to Cleveland this time! It was mentioned...

Lauren ran a week long Musical Theater camp that was loads of fun and hard work. She introduced her students to Method Acting, Body Movement, Staging, and the most popular Stage Make-up. Saturday morning was the performance each student was given two duets to sing with two different people. Everyone did great! Lauren played the piano and Zach was a great page turner.

With both of us so busy we really didn't have any adventures this week. We did see "Despicable Me" again it is so cute! We also saw a Swedish film "The girl who played with fire" based off of the book by the same name.

After over a year and a half of begging Lauren finally got Zach to try out his dishwasher. It is currently running and Lauren has her fingers crossed that this will open a new era in kitchen cleanliness.

Sadly that is all we have to report. Hopefully this week will be calmer for the both of us.

Cheers!
