I set this photo up for project 365 (I need to get back on track). It makes me laugh every time I look at it. It is some serious paparazzi love. Except for the fact that we are our own paparazzi. So there you have it. In case you ever wanted to know what we look like while we share lunch (insert sarcastic smirk). Chips & Queso+ Ernest + Project 365 = FUN.
