First Night Out

Warning, this post contains no pictures of Henry.

A friend and co-worker (same person!) invited us to his wedding, so Mom and Dad had an opportunity to go out on our own. We've been out without Henry a few times previous, to see a movie or have dinner, but this was the first outing of any real consequence. It was an especially big deal for Mom, because while Dad is forced to spend 8 or 9 hours a day with his nose to the grindstone, she's never really spent that much time away from the little tyke.


The ceremony was nice, but the reception, held at the Green Gables Restaurant, was simply amazing. The restaurant and surrounding lands were simply beautiful, featuring a rustic building paired with a perfectly manicured lakefront lawn. Besides being beautiful everywhere you looked, the food was delicious, and the open bar was...open.

Though the only people we had more than a passing acquaintance with were coworkers, it was no problem because Bon and I generally get along really well with all of them. In short, we had a really great time.

'Tis the Season

Are you ready for some football?

In one of the defining events of any child growing up in the 'Burgh, Henry watched his first Steelers game.


Henry managed to grip the terrible towel, but he's going to need some more practice before he's able to twirl it correctly. He did get in on the touchdown celebrations though - during each touchdown Dad would jump around the room singing the touchdown song, and help Henry pump his fist into the air.
