On Saturday I dressed Henry in his best green jeans and cutest plaid flannel in preparation for going out for his pappa's birthday. Ben showered, then came out dressed in.... his best green jeans and a plaid flannel. Aren't they cute?

Then of all our male friends that showed up to dine with us, 4 were in flannel plaid (including 1.5 year old Westin, so cute!), 2 more were in plain old plaid, and only 3 (2 of which were kids) were not in any plaid.

I guess the flannel really is back, huh?

I have been kind of a bad blogger for some time. I am not referring to the long break, and the sporadic posting, but my general reciprocity. So many of you fine folks have been coming round and leaving delightful comments, and I so rarely have (make?) the time to check out who you are what you are up to. I aim to change that. And I'd like to share some of what I find (hopefully on a semi regular basis), cause you all are pretty rad!

First up is the crazy talented Jasmine. She got my attention when she mentioned that we had the same evening a while back. Well- she left a comment, I left a comment, and a couple of emails later we were chatting over 2 real beers (and one real baby).
Girl is as rad in person as she is skilled with a shutter. Keep up with her well photographed adventures on her (delightfully designed!) blog, the daily frolic!. DEF check out her wedding (photographed by James Moes) and wish that you had been friends with her so that you could have been there, BOTH DAYS.
