Our Week in iPhone (#1)

May 5, 2014
Our Week in iPhone

It’s May! I can’t believe how fast this year is going. We have been so behind on posting lately – a little cray cray in the Marquis-Sow household – but my last final of the semester is due this week, and Fatty’s busy season has come to an end (knock on wood). More delicious dishes are ready to be cooked and posted! Bring on summer! Our week in iPhone has been jam-packed with family events. It started with a baby shower for Fatima’s brother, and ended with a surprise party for my parents’ 30th Wedding Anniversary. For once, it was a true surprise.
