hearts, puppies, newborns

[kismet09]

First things first: my two nephews, Andrew and Eli, were born Wednesday (no one managed to tell me til today). Everyone is happy and healthy. They were 5ish and 6ish pounds. I don't know how they both fit in Mary. One of them apparently looks like our side of the family and the other like hers. James (my other nephew) has declared them the third and fourth kids, since Henry, the basset-beagle, is his 'first younger brother.'

Second: Valentine's Day. I got up early and baked two batches of cookies to surprise Tim, then went to work, then we went out to dinner at Cambridge Brewing Company. We were there for two hours because something went awry with entrees (we waited for them for about fifty minutes). We were also sitting by the door, so I was a little freezing by the end of the night. Even so, it was a nice dinner with great beer.

I'm sorry you had to wait so long for food, how odd!

And yeah, I've been in that spot by the door, it can get chilly =(

The choc-chili stout, the cherry porter, and the un-hopped pair.

I had the first two, but not the last. I am going to try to go back this coming week to try the other two!
