So I'm sweating slash running on very little sleep, but I just wanted to post about our rad, rad weekend. It was action packed indeed. It all started when a shadowy figure cloaked in brown plunked a very large box containing odd warning messages onto our front stoop. Come to find out the shadowy figure was the UPS dude and the packaged warnings were on account of dry ice: said package contained foooood in the form of breadz and cookies and a coffee cake. We had carbfest 2008 this weekend. All's that's left is one frozen loaf o' multigrain. Thanks for the awesome eats, Nick & Ann!
Then another shadowy figure appeared on our doorstep. This time it was the special features editor for Channel 2 News, hand-delivering the DVD transcripts of our time in the spotlight. Below, witness the young family's stunned reaction upon learning of dangerous levels of lead in their dinnerware! Actually, it was funny to finally see the clip--an inordinately high number of folks have mentioned seeing us on the TV saince said clip aired.
Another 15 minutes, more shadowy figures, only these ones actually crossed the threshold and stayed for a few days. Below, Ro gets acquainted with Auntie Alyssa. He really liked Alyssa! She really has a way with the wee gents!
It might appear that we spent a solemn set of days, but looks can be deceiving.
Alyssa made several delightful concoctions with sliced strawberries (we bought a ton o berries at the farmers' market). We did a strawberry-garnished lemon tart and a chocolate cake. Of course we had to find some way to add mass quantities of sugar to an already-sweet food.
Contrary to popular belief, Maddy, aka AGMs, was not high the whole time. She was just delirious from getting beat up! Against her better judgment, she spent plenty of quality time with various babies, human and furry, and even liked it!
Speaking of liking, my cake was pretty awesome. Chartreuse with a sea turtle theme, oh yeah! I was very sad to see Alyssa & AGMs go and had to rush out of the airport after escorting them to security to avoid a tearful scene.
This evening after I returned from work, we enjoyed a family walk. Sadly, Mercer got waylaid and collapsed on Owl Creek Bridge. That was not so enjoyable.
Yo, happy one day before your birthday, Mister Canada.

for the record, pillow fort readers:
It should be known that I beat Liz up and she deleted the photographic evidence.
Row is a bit of a charmer, says this (usually) non-baby fan.
Also, I would always like to visit right after Nick & Ann send food.
Love,
GR
I'm so happy you guys liked the food and had such a rockin' birthday. I got Nick a subscription to their Bacon of the Month club once, and it was delicious. Not that I, um, ate his birthday present or anything like that.
I DEMAND SATISFACTION IN THE FORM OF PICS OF YOU TWO IN BANDANAS, preferably west coast gangland style. GOGOGO
