california cuteness and oxford brilliance (always go hand in hand i find)

aah! ever since i saw this on matthew's blog this morning and subsequently made it my desktop background i CANNOT stop staring at it. oh my goodness. SO CUTE. it makes me (AND my coworkers who keep commenting on the cuteness as well) ridiculously happy. since i have my coworkers' testimonials of the cuteness of the 3rd generation of our family, i can hereby claim that we are not just influenced by familial bias. all 14 of the p fam's grandkid generation (who are all represented on my cubicle/desktop walls) are just really stinkin' cute.

ALSO
read this in a report earlier today:
"in the face of widening inequalities and relentless poverty in much of the world, there is no room for complacency. we should not spend aid money on concepts we do not really understand. no one wants to spend their working life spouting meaningless jargon. to be effective in changing the lives of the poor and marginalised, we need to know what makes a difference." (rick james, from oxford of course!)
absolutely sums up everything i said in my post yesterday.
boo-yeah.

and it's my last weekend in ole' nyc for 3 months! i have grand plans... hopefully pictures will work and i will report on monday.

happy weekend!

so glad that you received unbiased affirmation of the ultimate cuteness of our grandchildren! rick james' quote is spot on isn't it - good thing he is from oxford. did you know him there? enjoy your weekend, have a levain cookie for me and get out here on wednesday! mom

There is nothing cuter, handsomer, pr beautiful than my grandchildren and great grand children. You are soooo right. No biases there.
Love you
