Four More Years!

Friday was our 4th wedding anniversary and West was kind enough to oblige me with something that has eluded me for weeks: clapping on camera!

The footage isn't all that great but I did manage to get him to do an encore presentation.

Aaron surprised me by coming home early and preparing a fancy schmancy dinner: champagne, peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with a port-cherry reduction, samosa-stuffed potatoes, and roasted broccoli with shallots, parmesan, and lemon. It was delicious! He is also whisking the three of us away to Big Sur next weekend for a family getaway.

I will be sure to bring my camera. :-)

You Give Me Fever

In the morning, fever all through the night. Teething SUCKS my friends!

Mimi's Boy

West misses his Mimi so much!

Hold the Applause

We have clapping! On Easter Sunday, West clapped for the first time. I nominate clapping as the cutest thing in the entire world, at least until something cuter comes along. Now we can't get him to stop - he even wakes up clapping. And nothing makes an ordinary breakfast of yogurt and O's (or Aaron coming home late) more special than applause.

Egg Head

Today being Easter morning, West kindly agreed to pose in his Easter outfit - a festive bib and coordinating diaper! He enjoyed his first Easter basket, which comes as no surprise seeing as he made it himself at Maggie's. His scribbles on the construction paper show great promise, I think. And with my art history background, I would know. Tomorrow Mimi arrives in all her splendor. West can't wait and neither can we.

The Professional

We just received the photographs from West's Speesees shoot. There was way too much cuteness to contain in one post but here are the best of the lot! All credit goes to Andrea Scher of Superhero Photo.
