Yesterday Matt and I celebrated thirteen years of marriage. We've survived a lot- six kids, cancer, even hanging curtains together, as Matt can be seen doing here. We're not real big on celebrating events like this (anniversaries, not curtain-hanging), but I didn't want the day to pass completely unacknowledged. On our way home from group classes yesterday, the kids and I drove across the city to the bakery that made our wedding cake all those many years ago. We picked out a box full of Italian cookies (just like we had at our wedding) and some cannolis to surprise Matt with when he got home from work. Matt, also not wanting to let the occasion pass unacknowledged, surprised me by bringing me home a lobster sandwich from a new restaurant we have wanted to try but just don't have time to right now. We finished the evening by showing the kids our wedding album. They thought all the people "looked funny", as we went through and pointed out all the relatives they know. One child even pointed to a picture of me and Matt and asked, "Who's that?" A lot changes in thirteen years!
Yesterday also marked baby David's five-month "birthday". Five months seems to be about the time babies cross over from being a 'brand-new baby' to just 'the baby'. He still will not eat baby food, or drink from a bottle, or sleep much at night.
