Be Kind To Lawyers!

Song of the Day: Someday We'll Know by New Radicals

Katherine discovered something rather amazing yesterday, and while we're sad we're blogging about it a day late, we wanted to let everyone know that there is such a thing as International Be Kind To Lawyers Day, celebrated on April 10. If you'd like to learn more about this festive holiday, here's the website link. It's a rather fun website with cool lawyer facts and quotes. Fitz would like to stress, however, that just because such a day exists, it does not mean that you can be mean to lawyers the other 364 days of the year. Also, Katherine has not recited a lawyer joke in over a year our of respect for her husband's career (although many a lawyer joke are rather funny...).

Brendan, Katherine, and Allen...adorable...

On Monday, Katherine's parents and brothers came to Winston-Salem to visit, and we had a great time getting to spend time together. Fitz was able to join Katherine and her family for lunch, but then had to go back to work. Katherine and her family were able to walk around downtown, enjoy the sunshine, and grab coffee and snacks at her favorite spot, Camino Bakery. Katherine really appreciated the trip her family made just to see them, even for a short while. It was great to see Allen and Brendan since we hadn't seen either of them since Thanksgiving!

This evening, we went over to our church to help cook and serve dinner for the Shalom Table, which feeds weekly meals to folks around Winston-Salem. We made nine pounds of pasta, 280 meatballs, a lot of steamed veggies, salad, bread, and a ton of grapes. And of course, we had some delicious brownies and cookies for dessert. We had a fun time with our Bible study group, whom we served with, and with everyone that we met. Overall, it was a success! We were just happy we made enough food! Cooking for just us two can prove tricky enough sometimes...

Book update! Fitz is reading John Grisham's The Broker, and Katherine is re-reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
