Big congratulations to Chris and Sinead! I haven’t even gotten to meet their first little guy yet, and they go and have another one. Someday, we’ll make the trek over to Australia and give them all big ol’ hugs.*

*Highly unlikely. But maybe they’ll come to this side of the world someday soon for a visit. Fingers crossed.

Day 11

  • Taking Poppy to the aquarium store to look at fish, then going out for lunch together.
  • Getting the news that Perry Mason and Mrs. Perry Mason planned to make an offer on the house they’ve been in love with since they first saw it nearly a year ago.
  • Making a ridiculously thrown together “pineapple upside-down cake.” It was tasty, but it wasn’t what it was meant to be.

    • Day 12

  • Watching the last “Doctor Who” episodes of Season 4 with Rockford.
  • Tandoori chicken from Cook’s Illustrated.
  • Poppy’s lovely little face.
  • Pete being so excited to see his little buddy Addison in the afternoons.

    • Day 13

  • Pasta with garlic.

    • Day 14

  • Playing with Pete while Poppy napped late in the evening; his joyful little shrieks.
  • Pete taking a few steps without noticing it.
  • Poppy drying the dishes.

    • Day 15

  • Dancing with Poppy & Pete at their music class.
  • Pete pretending to read.
  • The prospect of winning a box of Little Debbies.
  • Tucking a blanket around sleeping Pete.

    • Day 16

  • Mexican pizza
  • Watching the new “Battlestar Galactica.” Even though it was really depressing.
  • Playing “You’re the Mommy, I’m the Poppy” with Pi.
  • The enthusiasm with which Rockford plays the Rock Band.
