We had a graduation party for my son Jordan over the weekend. It's hard to believe he'll be going to college in the fall!

It was great to catch up with family and friends.  We even had entertainment.  Here's some before & after shots of Jordan's brother Amin and his friend, Nathan Sumo wrestling.    My Mom & sister created a picture board.  Here's one of my favorite shots when Jordan was around 5.

I'm excited about the market starting up again! We have such a fun, vibrant farmer's market in downtown Des Moines, with around 200 venders each week. Not only do we have home grown fruits & veggies, but prepared foods, bakeries (be sure to check out South Union Bread Co.), salsa venders, great crafts, and live musicians.

If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. I'll be at the market the following dates:

May 10th
June 14th, June 21st
July 5th, July 19th
August 9th, August 23rd
September 13th, September 27th
October 11th

I'm usually located at 2nd & Court but don't know what space I'll be assigned until I arrive at 6am. I'll be there rain or shine!
