We spent the Memorial Day weekend at a lovely lake house near Lake Texoma, on the border of Texas and Oklahoma. The scenery was beautiful, the food was great, and we had a great relaxing weekend away from town. It is amazing how much you can actually relax when there is nothing around to distract you.

I pass by this building all the time and I’ve always thought it had a certain charm. I love the layered brick wall and the retro type used for the sign. Although, it probably wasn’t considered “retro” when it was put in. Either way, it is great to see it remain unchanged for so long.

One of the best perks about living in Texas is the yearly blessing of an extended spring season. From about March until May it is often in the mid-70’s and sunny outside. The weather is perfect for walking and spending time outside. Everything is momentarily green before the heat of the summer sets in and burns everything to a crisp, so we enjoy it while we can.

The best way to start the day.

Last weekend was the 3rd Annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Dallas. We walked down to the end of the street to cheer on over 14,000 participants. And most importantly we cheered on our sister Natalie who finished her first half marathon! We’re so impressed.

My new office is a pretty awesome place. In comparison to the more corporate environments that I’m used to, the space is a breath of fresh air. One of the highlights is the amazing hand-crafted wooden plank wall that adorns the entire south side of the room. It makes the perfect surface for the dart board and accompanying chalk scoreboard.

The two week break is about over and it is time to get back to normal life. Well, as much as we can with a newborn around the house. We celebrated one of my last days off by bringing the baby to the lake and having a little picnic. The weather has been great lately and it was a perfect day to be outside.

It has been pretty quiet around here and on Fish and Veggies lately. But for good reason! I am excited to announce that our baby girl, Grace, was born a few short weeks ago. Becoming a Dad for the first time has been the most incredible experience of my life, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Last weekend, world renowned street artist Shepard Fairey was in Dallas. Along with his team he spent a few days painting several buildings in West Dallas, near the site of the soon-to-be-opened Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The work is incredible. And even more incredible to me is the size of the work, and how quickly it was done. For drivers coming across the new bridge this spring, there will be an amazing display of modern art waiting for them on the other side.
Cheers to the Dallas Contemporary for inviting Shepard to Dallas.

I was walking around downtown Dallas last night and was struck by the contrast in the night skyline. On the left is the modern and stunning Museum Tower still under construction. On the right is the Cathedral Guadalupe Church, built in 1898.

A few us of gathered yesterday for a little cooking lesson at my brother-in-law’s new place. The lighting in his house is perfect at this point in the afternoon and it made for a fun, tasty and well-lit event. I’ll leave the food pictures to an upcoming post on Fish and Veggies, but here’s a few of my favorites in the mean time.
Update: Get the full story
And for those watching the event, there was plenty of cereal nearby for snacking.

Happy New Year! 2011 was a great year full of significant events and major life changes. 2012 is shaping up to be no different, but we’ll get to that later. Here’s a few of my favorite moments from 2011:

The year is coming to an end and I’m cleaning out my photo closet.
This is one of my favorites from our trip to New York earlier this fall.

I’ve been doing a bit of furniture resurfacing lately to prepare the nursery. It feels great to be out in the garage working on something again.
