visitors!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of Chris and Monika's company (the newlyweds in my first-ever post). They were headed to a wedding in the area and took a detour so they could spend the evening with Ian and me.

Though we only had a few waking hours of "face time," we made the most of it...We went to our favorite neighborhood restaurant, Pisticci, for dinner; stopped at the corner wine store; talked and talked and talked; harrassed Bear; played some video games (it was a tie, as usual); and set up our air mattress (thanks, Colleen and Andy!), which took up the entirety of our living room floor space. Cozy. Then, the next morning, they were on their way. It was so good to see them!

And I knew you'd be dying to know...the steak frites Ian made on Wednesday turned out great. Ian also made apple tarte tatin for dessert. Everything was delicious!
