Expressive Cake

I left work after lunch today to pick up the kids and hang out. We met Nana for an early dinner at Mandola's, which is an Italian restaurant in mid-town. The bruschetta is the most fabulous bruschetta I've ever had. After dinner the kids browsed the desserts display. They have homemade gelatto and a huge range of pastries and cakes. Evelyn is reading a lot better now, but sometimes she misses the mark just slightly. She ran back to the table, full of excitement about a cake she saw that she wanted. She called it "Expressive Cake," but it was actually Espresso Cake. It looked chocolate-flavored to her. I helped her choose a more suitable dessert for a 6-year old.

Rod called us on his way back from a business trip in College Station while we were hanging out. Parts of the drive back are in low-signal zones, so sometimes the phone cuts out. Evelyn was on the phone with him when all of a sudden she gets louder: "Dad, your voice is getting blurry!"
