crepes

A family tradition - crepes filled with avacado, fresh peaches and cream cheese, smothered in peach sauce, with a little nutmeg or cinnamon. (Are you drooling yet..?) When (if) I have a cafe, this is the first thing going on the menu.

Umm...my attempt at food art...

courtney's graduation

To WI we went for Courtney's Graduation...

At first I thought it was pretty, but after miles and miles of seeing the same thing I wasn't so thrilled :)

I think people were hinting at something (or just know that she works at the pool)...

'Peter Pan's gots kids?'

Why do people have kids? Is it because children make a family feel complete? Because they add to the overall love quota? Is is a basic human instinct to propitiate the human race? Or is it a lesson in flagellation? (Hehe.)

Of course I have thought about having kids, but it would completely change our lives. Financially, physically and emotionally (no specific order there). There must be positives to it since so many people have kids. I even want them sometimes - but I can never put my finger on why, other than (occasionally) the idea makes me all fuzzy inside.

Although this doesn't apply to adoption - I only feel fuzzy about that little Tereffrey that would be running around. Maybe it's about possession and creative pride - 'I made that kid.'

Hm. Well, any thoughts?
