auntie jojo is town this weekend, which means we have all sorts of bonuses — extra set of hands, extra eyes for averting potential disasters, extra brain to cover the sleep deprived, extra attention span for she-who-has-separation-anxiety, and an extra person looking through the view finder. i hope she never leaves.

quick trip to williamsburg to see the gram, grampa and poppa. we’ll see the grandparents in a couple of weeks for sparklet’s first birthday — crazy, i know — but the next time we see poppa might not be until christmas.

my godparents had a tradition where every day at 4:00 pm (“tea time”) they’d sit down together and have a drink — gloria had some kind of sweet, fruity wine; paul a rolling rock.

i’m proud to say that sparklet and i’ve picked up the tradition …

… granted, it’s a little later (we don’t get home until 4:45 usually).

.. granted, instead of rolling rock i’m drinking some kind of fruity beer that would get my man card revoked (lately, lucy from starr hill or purple haze from abita).

… granted, instead of fruity wine, sparklet is usually enjoying the classic, refined flavor of mommy juice.

but, it’s the thought that counts. now if we can just get sparklet to start eating dinner, again.
