Meat Logs and the Tree of Life

First things first...Not sure if there's even a noticeable difference from 3 weeks ago, but here's the latest!


Here's a recent delicious dinner we made. The meat is kafta kabobs (we didn't do it exactly like this blog describes, but pretty close--one of the biggest differences is we didn't have any skewers! But they worked fine). They are kind of like a Middle-Eastern-y flavored meatloaf. Not the most attractive dish but very tasty.


Here's Brandon making the "meat logs" (yep, our nickname for them is even less attractive than their appearance).


Meanwhile, Alison braves the heat to venture out to prenatal yoga.

Also, we went to see The Tree of Life last night. It was kind of a challenging viewing experience, but we are finding we like it more the more we think about it.

I found the Tree of Life to be very pretentious and bombastic. Terence Malick is a wonderful filmmaker, and I've loved every other film he's done besides The Thin Red Line (not that he's very prolific), but Tree could easily stand to lose about an hour of its running time. They re-ran your Jeopardy! episodes over the last week or so. The outcome was still the same :) - you did great

Wow! I can't believe you're 31 weeks already! The twins were born @ 32 weeks. I hope your little one isn't born that soon, but it's getting close! How exciting.

Alison, you look like you are heading to the beach!! You look so healthy and great. Brandon, how did you cook the meat, bar b q or broiler? It's so hot back there, I'm surprised anyone is smiling....
Looking good Alison!!!

Oh, you're lovely! And way to go on the prenatal yoga.

I felt about The Tree of Life as you did. I think it could have been slower, but gosh it was beautiful and the images stuck with me. I decided it was sort of like watching one of those Planet Earth nature type shows, only the creatures were human. Worth the watching, ultimately.
