happy 2-year anniversary P!

Chocolate, coconut cake with marshmallows and butter pecan ice cream
Peanut butter semifreddo with chocolate macarons
Chocolate apricot bread pudding with chocolate orange ice cream

To celebrate our second year of marital bliss, we went back to our tried and true Gramercy Tavern.  We were greeted with complimentary bubbly, which was swiftly swapped out for sparkling cider, treated with warm and friendly service, and presented with really great food.  Nothing pretentious, just great quality dishes.  And returning after ? number of years made the experience all that more nostalgic.

Together for almost 9 years, married for 2, I would've thought it impossible to enjoy each other more and more every day.  I'm finding it's the little things in life and the extra little effort put forth here and there that bring us closer together every day.  Big, new adventures push us to grow together.  Last year was Africa, this year is the new life we're bringing into the world.

I can't wait to see what the next year brings!

worm to walnut to BABY

7 weeks - I mean, really.  I called him "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo," but P thought that was offensive.  "Worm" was more acceptable.



11 weeks - looks like he's got some socks on! Almost all head, he's just a walnut.

17 weeks - SCARY, HE'S STARING US DOWN... ALREADY

17 weeks - looks like a BEBE

21 weeks - almost 1 lb

21 weeks - picking up smoking already! 

Yes, we know it's a "he!"  He is due in early September, which is coming up fast!
