What childhood milestone is it when a child surpasses our stone age ancestors and begins to create representations of ourselves?

Mmmm mommy-Lobster bisque is my Favorite!
With the leftovers from our Buffalo Cousin’s visit I made some lobster bisque. It takes forever to make from scratch. I was looking forward to a nice, fancy-pants meal with the family but Kelby ended up needing to stay late at the office (swine flu hysteria, argh). So, I sat with my 2 children, 2 and under, eating the Lobster Bisque with swiss chard saute and bread from Seven Stars Bakery (yum!) It went over “great-great!” , with rave reviews: “Mommy, lobster bisque is my Favorite!” The kid is likely going to have a difficult time at the playground… sigh.
This is the way it goes with all of the meals I serve to my kids- especially the ones served after forgetting to feed them properly for lunch.

Bison as houseguests
D and G’s cousins from Buffalo came to visit with us this week. We had an awesome time with the three calves and their parents. They might have done a little better as a traveling pod of Dolphins with all the rain we had this last week but a trip to the Providence Childrens Museum and New Bedford Whaling Museum did seem to tide them over.
As many traveling herds, they often were in search of food. This being the case, we fed them a New England style feast of Lobster and Steamers followed by a few hand picked delicacies from Federal Hill (the “little Italy” of Providence) We aren’t bad to visit, I swear! As you can see here they could only be contained for a short period of time before heading for the green pastures of NH to visit with more family. (We have a LOT of family)

Someday I will make my own.
I spent some of yesterday working out some final edits for an album that has been way to long in the making. Harley and Joe had a gorgeous summer wedding and have had so much on their plates that this album has been a long time overdue. But I think it is just about ready to be sent out to the printers. Every time I sit down with an album for design, I always get a pang of guilt that I don’t have one of my own. Embarrassing. I keep telling myself that this is the year that I will have one for our anniversary, but always work, some pesky but cute kid or a project seem to come first. Sigh.
