5 years down, 5 days to go...



Happy 5th Anniversary to us! We celebrated at Four Square Restaurant here in Durham. We dined on the romaine and strawberry salad with crispy country ham, peanut brittle and white balsamic dressing; semolina gnocchi with braised beef short ribs; grilled beef tenderloin with Yukon gold tater tots and roasted broccoli; pork tenderloin stuffed with braised pork rib and wrapped in smoked bacon with basil mashed potatoes, White Cross turnips and a balsamic-thyme glaze; and glazed chocolate cake with a brandy-cherry cream, pistachios and port-orange sauce. As you can see from the picture, we had no problem cleaning our plates!


We're also celebrating that Baby Watch 2007 is now into its final stretches. With 5 days left until the due date, Amy's feeling great and was described today by one of Josh's colleagues as "surprisingly nimble". Pickles has been getting more noticeably annoyed at sharing Amy's lap with the growing belly. And while it's annoying to our dear kitty, it's entertaining for us to watch her try to find a comfortable place to curl up against the bump.
