There has been a new round of baby food making in our home. This was our afternoon creation.
He liked them. But not as much as he liked them in the can.

Want Ad
If I had to place an ad for today it would go something like this:
In search of one morning adventure for mother/baby. Close by, not crowded, parking not an issue. Charm and outdoors required. Stroller friendly a plus. Suburban monstrosities need not apply.
Downtown Annapolis answered our ad. Not super stroller friendly if you want to whip in and out of shops. In a few months I think a monthly lunch with Luke would be agreeable.
We visited this cute shop for kids.

Weekend Media
This weekend we watched a fabulous film, Amazing Grace. True story of William Wilberforce, a man with a strong constitution who ended slavery in the UK. We also started Sicko, the Michael Moore documentary on health care in the US. I had not realized the film was about people in our country who HAVE health insurance and what happens to them when they get sick.
The best part of weekend media was the resumption of Masterpiece Theater’s The Complete Jane Austen. Next Sunday is Sense and Sensibility so cement it in your schedule if it isn’t already.

Easter, Part II
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " Then they remembered his words.
Luke 24:-6-8

Our Easter was wonderful! We hope yours was too!

Then & Now
Luke is six months old today.
Then
Now
My (read: me me!) mental checklist went something like this:
Still standing. Check.
Still wear lipstick or fancy Bobbie Brown gloss, regularly. Check.
Shower, do hair and make-up every day. Check.
Can carry on conversation re: Presidential race. Check
Ok, Camille. You are hanging in there with grace and aplomb.
Keep it up.
Remember: Slippery slope to sweat pants and a mini-van.
Especially where you live, honey child.

Easter Parade
In our little town there is an annual Easter Parade. We were very excited, Luke’s first parade!! It wasn’t what we expected but we had fun nonetheless.
The parade was actually us,
The parade was actually us,
walking the boardwalk to the beach area.
Lead by an Easter Bunny of course.
The garden club gave out packets of Zinnias.
We enjoyed walking behind this festive guy.
Signs of Spring along the parade route.
Lots of Easter activities at the beach.
There was an egg hunt somewhere.
Best part of the parade?
This popcorn.
Yum yum YUM.
Finally the Easter Bunny!

Economics 101
A good read to help explain the current crazy economic world in yesterday's NYT. Don’t feel bad if you have been confused, apparently Robert Rubin, a former Treasury secretary and Citigroup big wig, has also been stumped.

To Cut or Mousse?
F and I just had a hysterical conversation about Luke’s locks. You see, the front part (a.k.a. The Peacock) now enjoys resting in his eyes.
F asked me if I’d noticed how long Luke’s front hair had grown and noted that it now was regularly getting in his eyes. F decided we needed to cut it. I politely (or maybe hardily, I’ll never tell!) chuckled and said we cannot cut the hair of a six month old. Who ever heard of such a thing?! F hashed out which one of us should have the honor of making the first cut. He decided he should do the honors, proudly declaring he wanted to give the innocent lamb a bowl cut (In my mind I saw myself leaping -- bionic woman/Charlie angel style-- to prevent such an atrocity).
I jokingly suggested we use some mousse, after all a little hair product never hurt anything. My dearest husband’s response? “Well then we should use a silicone based mousse, we don’t want to clog his pores.”
