Olive bread from Marcy Goldman's Passion for baking.  Usually, I am not a big fan of olives, but baked inside this tender bread- I am a HUGE fan- the recipe made two large loaves- absolute perfection.  Will experiment next time with a variety of black olives - even if I have to pit them myself. 

Katie's Dance Recital

This Sunday past, cousin Katie, performed in a dance recital.  She was dressed as a cute little mouse, complete with tail and ears.  They were super adorable and Katie knew her stuff- especially the little hip shake part- it was really cute to watch.  Lauren, my dad, Judy, Sam, Jennifer, Becky, McKenzie, Katie and myself watched the two plus hour recital at UALR- Lauren was tickled about being on a college campus for the first time. 

Here are a few pictures of the girls together- the darkend auditorium was hard to phototgraph- the photos were very blurry-sorry there are none to share from the actual dance.
