8 years and still kicking (though not each other)

Happy Anniversary Tony

As a gift I made you almond eggplant korma, sweet potato badi, and saag paneer because it was cheaper than ordering take-out Indian food.

You gave me the time to slowly make dinner by taking the baby out, and when you returned you brought wine and chocolate.

Best date-night yet.

Another tree bites the dust

Tony went ahead and tore down the last remaining dead oak tree on our property. I know you want to check out his tree destruction skills in all their glory. First see the final inhabitant of the former tree, fittingly it was a buzzard:




Now, join Alice in reveling in the demolition!














Tony emerged from the backyard victorious but not entirely unscathed.

New word

Today a family member said a new word for the first time. This afternoon Alice was happily wailing on the floor (and the cat) with her foam bat.

Tony noticed her and said, "Check out Alice, she's going Ape-poop over there!"

Ape...poop.
