In 2010 I ... babysat.

UPDATE: V and I were able to make up shortly after "the incident." It just took brunch, a cocktail and a nap:


Possibly the solution to any and all problems?

What was I thinking? I mean who wouldn't see this and run in the opposite direction?

Violet and Silas, faking innocence. Important note: I was not present when this smiling cuteness was taken.

Oh adorable, right? I'm not so sure anymore. Well, I am sure that Silas is adorable. And really a very good baby. However, I want my thoughts on Violet down for the record so that 10 years from now I can remind her of the evening she made noises that made me reconsider one of my personal truths: modern country music is the worst sound in the world. V is capable of sounds that almost trump the sheer horror of country.

Thankfully I didn't have to endure this alone. Beth and I were tag-teaming the twins, although I think we spent more of the night comforting each other than anything else. Although it was truly worth it because Jennie and Eli were able to enjoy a great evening out together and J got a gorgeous necklace out of the deal.

Little does J know I plan to, uh, let's call it "borrow" said necklace asap ...
