A Week In Pictures

My Adventures in P-Land:
Mama and A-Babe- She is simply perfect, although she seems to sleep about 23 out of every 24 hours. Oh well. She's doing a lot of growing right now. She's on her way to catching up with Uncle Z.

This is my man, Little E. He showed us around town all week and woke us up every morning.
It was so beautiful in P-Land. Sunny every day and warm every night. We spent a lot of time sitting out on the porches of various breweries with old friends.
The Spring BrewFest was notably lamer than the summer Fest, since it was in the Convention Center, but ZPJ and I did our best regardless to drink lots of beers and get pirate tattoos. Can you find them?
In addition to tattoos, we also got some face-designs at the Children's Museum, which we visited with Misses AF and LF.
Our hosts made us a beautiful brunch with mimosas the morning we had to leave them.
It was sad to leave them, but then we got to wake up with Mr. Feather Boa on Easter morning and look for Easter eggs together (even though his dad gave him an unfair advantage by standing really close to the good ones and shouting "OVER HERE!!! OVER HERE!!!")
Is it strange that most of our vacation was spent hanging out with other people's children?

Everyone kept asking us all week "so, when are you two going to start a family?" and we would smile and laugh and then give each other the aren't-you-glad-we-use-birth-control look. I absolutely adore everyone else's children. But I'm just not ready yet. I do, however, wish that most of these little guys lived a little closer to me so that they wouldn't grow so much between visits.

Here she is, Dear Readers. Look closely because she'll double in size before I get any more pictures of her:

i want it noted that we did not ask any baby questions. i am a firm believer that people should wait until they are ready. When you are it will be great. N sure had fun with you. next time we will get to the Zoo.

Good for you for not having any kids a single day before you are ready. You guys will be great parents when and if you decide to do that, but part of being responsible is waiting, so when you are pressured by people who tell you you'll be good parents, say, "Yes, we will, because we're not having any yet."

P.S. Your only picture of Noah doesn't show his face. This is particularly sad since he's the best looking person in all the pictures. "Little E" and the baby both vie for second place, but not enough to overcome my somewhat substantial bias.

I would like to chip in that, even though I am not pushing you to have any, a baby would totally ensure that I came to NYC to visit you, and hold it. I would come to hold it. Just saying.
