A craving ...

Is it considered imprudent and irresponsible to want a $100 laundry hamper? It is an awfully cute hamper that would look adorable in Williams' nursery. And it definitely would make the dirty laundry look much more inviting to do. But how am I going to make Eddie see this and understand? I might be able to get along without it for now, but it is definitely going on my must-have-someday list.

Filling Daddy's shoes...

William is a daddy's boy. Last week he learned his first word. He followed Eddie around saying "dada". As you can imagine, Eddie was quite pleased.

Water Baby

Last Sunday afternoon was a warm one and after sitting in our non airconditioned apartment we decided water was a must. So we stole the Tolly's canoe, stuck a life jacket on little William and rowed out to the middle of Spring Valley to enjoy some fishing and a bit of swimming. William not only loves the water but also loves to hang over the side of the canoe. One thing I must say is great fishermen we are not, but we did have a lovely time all the same.

Cousins

A priceless photo of the almost cousins.

A good evening...

One evening last week we all decided we needed some adventure. So we packed up the fishing gear, the beer and the babies and drove to Spring Valley. The men fished and the women drank and watched the kids. We laughed and had a grand time till the sun set. Then we packed up the fishing gear, the empty bottles and the babies and drove home.

Birthday and Fairwell Parties

In the same weekend we celebrated Lindseys' birthday and Lorna's fair well party at our home. Since Darcy is sensitive to many different things, we went the simple route for Lindsey's party and served coconut ice cream from the co-op. Which if you ever have the chance try it. And for Lorna, we toasted her away with one last Champagne Thursday.
