Mr. Shindy is the tech guy. He just knows everything about computers and the random stuff in life. He built me my first desktop computer for a high school graduation gift, let me drive his truck (which I totally did NOT ruin! ... dumb emergency brakes that I had no clue about...), and calls me his favorite. :) That's right. He gave me the "deed" to Elaine's little Neon back in high school. I still have yet to make claim on that promise. Oh, and he can make a pretty awesome Winnie the Pooh cake. Piping and all.
Mrs. Shindy is just always the go-to woman. She somehow knows everyone and everything. She gives me a yearly Christmas stocking filled with thematic goodies (one year was all baking fun!), loves polar bears, and always great for planning secrets. :) She's practically my WebMD. Confession: On numerous occasions, I pretty much have given myself anxiety attacks over a handful of self-diagnosed/non-existent medical conditions. "No, you don't have Lyme Disease." "No, you don't have chiggers crawling underneath your skin." "Yes, you're normal." Sad, but true. haha
And a recap of Elaine for the new readers... she loves blogs, Tupperware, gingham fabric, and red hair (though she has none). She's a true blue friend, and I miss her cooking from when we were roommates. I hate cooking, but love to bake. And she hates to bake and loves to cook. It was a pretty good situation we had going on. And in our new chapter of our grown-up friendship, she's been a big supporter of Bit of Ivory and is one of my hostesses for Persuasion Boudoir.
I can't say it enough how much this family means to me. It was an honor they asked me to do their family portraits. Love you all so very much!
[Mr. Shindy wanted a photo of Elaine and me! And WHOA boy was it freezing winds and sand flying in our eyes!]

P.S. The Shindys are also avid Peanuts/Snoopy fans... and so this blog post's title is a reference to one of the comic strips. :)
Like like! That one of my parents in the UVA shirts is the BEST! :)
