Will has developed a habit of standing up on the book crates in the living room and pulling out the ones he wants read to him. It's all well and good until he spies his forever favorite, The Three Bears. If it appears in his line of sight, Will starts grunting and grabbing for it...and when you're done reading to him, you MUST hide it immediately, on penalty of having to read it nineteen more times.

Boo Hoo
P.S. Social Butterflies: I missed you today. I missed you while I was running errands in complete solitude, though, so I knew you'd understand.

No Wonder It's a 2.99 Rental
Soooooo wrong.
Dave is finishing the movie right now. I left when Marley's stomach twisted for the second time, and I am now sitting in our freshly painted office, peering at the computer screen through swollen eyelids. I feel ridiculous...but not ridiculous enough to go into the living room for the final scenes.
Wait, I think I hear the credits. (And maybe the sound of my husband blowing his nose, but I'm not sure he'll ever confess to it.)

What's the Difference Between Lawyers and Infants?
Above: my sister and the rest of her class just before receiving their J.D. degrees!
...and that's Rachel processing in before the ceremony.
See above for our feeble attempt to get Mamp and the three grandkids in a picture together. They don't call me a mediocre photographer for nothing, my friends.
Will was fascinated by his big cousins, as usual. He loves to watch Joe do pretty much anything, and he thinks it's hilarious when Bella plays with his hands and cheeks.
We got to spend time with Mimi, Maddie, Nonna and Poppa as well (that's a lot of extended grandparents for Will, lucky us!), and my sister's wonderful au pair Marina was there to cuddle with Will before she says goodbye and moves to the Midwest this month. (That part's unlucky for all of us.)
In summary: CONGRATULATIONS, RACHE!
*Yes, you're exactly right, most of the paragraph was just an elongated shout-out to Jessie, who loves Smartfood and history and is not, contrary to common belief, a ninety-year-old woman. She just likes the quiet life is all!
