An Update

It's been too long! My work in Boston is taking away from my precious blogging time :( and thus, I have been terrible at updating My Inner June. As many of you know, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary about a month ago with a delicous dinner at home. We picked out the most succulent dry-aged local rib-eyes, made classic twice baked potatoes, and sauteed broccoli rabe. For dessert we made Ethan's favorite chocolate mousse- light and delicious with a deep chocolate flavor.

Here are some photographic highlights of our dinner:

Oh, and the biggest of news- Baby EClaire is a little boy and I think he already looks a little like his dad!

happy 2nd anniversary, dear!

Philadelphia, November 2007

Rhode Island, July 2004

Tonight we will dine on organic rib-eye with a pan wine sauce, twice-baked potatoes, broccolini, and chocolate mousse. In a couple of weeks, we will spend 1 day in Burlington, Vermont and 3 days in Montreal to celebrate 2 years of marriage and 5 1/2 years of being best friends. Here's to 60+ more!

Additionally, we cannot wait to welcome our little "eclair" in May 2010! This will be our last anniversary with just the two of us.

On an entirely separate subject-- how cute is this brand of cards? Tokyo Milk puts out these delicious little note cards and make me oh so happy! Found them in person at Handmade in Fayetteville, AR.
