Date Night!

It being the end of the semester, one is tried. Tired, I mean. Very, very tired. So here are some photos (taken with the cell phone because for the 842,637, 212th time, the camera remained at home) of tonight's epic romance between Callie and Iain:

They dined. Or, rather, Iain gorged while Callie watched with amusement and snacked on some pear and banana.


Like any huge meal, afterward Iain felt kind of sick.

Callie, on the other hand, remained insanely cute.


No, really. Check this out:


Dad tried to help by providing some exercise


But mostly Iain wanted to sit on Callie's Mom's lap.


Or hang out with "the guys" talking shop


Callie found refuge in the arms of a nearby prince


But eventually they reconciled, and (of course) had a bit to eat


The ladies watched, discussed, and provided chaperonage.

In non-fictional terms, we joined Callie's parents and grandparents, plus the Fabulous Next-Doors, for dinner. We started on the Next-Door patio, where drinks paired with veggies, cheese, crackers and a hot appetizer. Dinner took us back to Chez Callie for grilled salmon, mahi-mahi and shrimp with asparagus, spinach salad and couscous. Hot, freshly baked cookies with vanilla ice cream, strawberries and chocolate syrup topped us off and proved, incontrovertibly, that we are all more than ready for spring.

Then we solved the problems of the world while Callie and Iain dreamed.
