my trip to the suburbs, a short story

what a lovely visit to lily's i just had! that wildbore family sure knows how to treat a gal. i had four pillows on my bed, four! i made a little nest so i wouldn't fall out (cause as you know jeremy is in california and so unable to secure me to the mattress).

inevitably we pulled out lily's wedding album and i came across this little pearl of a photo. that's lucy trying to apply lipstick to a grinning baboon. why are these girls so nice to me? maybe they were afraid of what would happen if i was allowed to apply my own make-up. smart.

lily made us these by drizzling olive oil on fresh baguette slices and toasting them up in the oven and serving them with bruschetta stuff. YUMM-MEE! can i move in? i just thought since you have all those extra bedrooms...

and then there's this little peanut buster parfait, one of the best parts about visiting now. babies make adults say things like goobie goobie yoobie yoo! and make songs out of sentences and take one thousand pictures of the same thing. it's like you're watching someone who will be different tomorrow then the next day then the next day after that and you want to just eat up all the moments you get to spend with them with an ice cream spoon. very awesome.

HA and of course there's still oliver. not to be outdone by sophie he ate too many treats, got overexcited and ralphed on the sofa. he's still very cute though. i like his winter beard.
