Her affection is making up for my past sins.

Celebration Questioned
I'm not saying who said what, but last night at supper, one spouse accused the other spouse of overusing this weekend's solemnities as an *excuse* for serving extra desserts.
Somebody around here must have an ingrained sense of dessert guilt. I honestly don't understand how it's possible to turn your nose up at fudge brownies and mint icecream.

What we did with 36 hours to ourselves
I don't normally do this, but i know you'll love it. Here's a smattering of photos from the postponed-because-I-was-postpartum 5 year wedding anniversary getaway:
Joe, having a Rodin moment with The Thinker. I was having a Mona Lisa moment - disappointed with the real deal as seen here:
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary. Too big from the sidewalk to capture the spires. Too late in the day to get to see the inside. Spanish Platteresque motif,
i'm told (whih is why i spelled it incorrectly, right?) Que bella! Tanto impressivo!
Calling home to check on the two older kids, whom we happily abandoned. This is a view of Lake Erie from our resort room. (Yes, i did say resort! Sweet!)
With the third wheel... i mean, third and utterly dependent child - on the bay. Call me stupid, but i never before realized that non-oceanic bodies of water made waves. Such are the things that never cross your mind when you spend all your time obsessing over diapers and kids' hair cuts. It was cool.
A shot of our super sweet, lake-front resort. What a treat!
Leopold with driftwood on the shore at Magee Marsh. It was really, really hard to get him to look at the camera for this one, since all the sea shells became a minor obsession for him. Totally worth the 5 minutes i spent behind the camera saying, "Leopold. Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeopold! Hey, LEOPOLD!!!!!"
Pretty great, no?
Mega shout-out to the sleep-deprived grandparents who cared for Thomas and Rosemarie. Super-duper shout-out to the husband who let me splurge on a bottle of Asti!! Joe, honey, you're the best! No, you are. No, yooooooooooou are!

Leop in retro high chair
Long have i awaited the opportunity to buy a high chair like this. ($4.00!) It would most likely fail modern child-safety inspections, but so long as he's smiling....
