Ezra's Wasp Sting

Happy Anniversary to Us

It'll be 8! years on Tuesday. Tim's parents were kind enough to watch the boys so we could celebrate tonight. It was a beautiful warm summer night in the city. We ate outside at a favorite Mexican restaurant (I ordered my stand-by delish enchiladas verdes, and we got platanos with caramel sauce and mexican coffee for dessert). Later we went to one of the best independent movie theaters around (where we spent many weekends in our dating and pre-children years), and saw the funny and touching "Introducing the Dwights." Hey Jen, recognize the shirt you gave me last year?

Here's to many more wonderful years together... love you, baby.

Calling All Stay at Home Moms...

You may want to take some time to check out this interesting and intelligent site. A friend's blog led me here and I am glad it did. It describes how/why the life of the stay-at-home mom is more of a challenge today than for moms of the early 20th century. She describes a few steps we can take to make our role at home even more satifying. Pretty insightful.
