Everything is amazing and nobody's happy

Hope you find this as entertaining as I did.

We eat a lot of string cheese here...

Since the only male who reads this blog is my father in law, who is a doctor, I think it's ok to post.  A couple of days ago Madeline brought me a wrapped tampon she pulled out of the box, and said "cheese?!"  She was really disappointed when I didn't readily unwrap it and  hand it over.  

Rachel's Scrapbook!

Yeah!!!!  My fabulous sister-n-law Rachel made us this gorgeous scrapbook for our Wedding plus Christmas present.  Um, did I say Wedding present? (p.s. that would be 4 1/2 years ago...)Yes, I did.  But it was totally worth the wait!  Isn't it sooooooooo cute!?!  

  She made us a scrapbook of our trip to Europe when we were still in college and we did an internship in Scotland and travelled to England and Germany and Italy.  As you can see, not only is the scrapbook totally cute in and of itself, but she made us a case for it to stand in, which matches the scrapbook!!!  AH!!  Genius!   This is why I don't scrapbook--I can't compete with this--since having Madeline I neither have the energy nor the braincells to come up with this sort of stuff!  Now, I know I'm making all of my other sister-n- law's green with envy, as Rachel's scrapbooking is always a prized present.  but I just can't resist posting these pictures,  and showing off this amazing present.  Thanks again Rach!  

Happy Valentine's Day (late)!

need I say more?  Hope you had some of these on V-day!!!  We had a great day, Adam made a really tasty Korean style filet mignon, with a salad and a Chocolate Lava Cake with raspberry Cheesecake ice cream for dessert.  YUM!  Not only did Adam do a great job of upping his cooking skills from TOAST to filet mignon, but I got to Surf the world wide web, instead of scrambling to get Madeline in bed while cooking dinner all while trying to keep a lid on the madness that ensues between 5-7 pm.  A welcome break, let me tell you.  

  I know I haven't posted in a while, but Happy Late V day, and here's to keepin' the love alive!
