We put our vegetarian summer on hold last night and went to Shaw's Crab House for a delicious dinner. Madam Awesome (as I refer to the babysitter as) kept Matilda busy while Jacob and I indulged in cocktails, multiple appetizers, a dinner suited more for four adults, and the dessert sampler. It was all thanks to Andrea and Ross. Without whom we wouldn't have multiple advanced degrees, Birkenstocks, a supply of baby OshKoshB'Gosh overalls and L.L. Bean pajamas (Have you tried them? Cotton has never held up to baby diarrhea so well). Nor would we have stuffed our faces with Alaskan king crab, clam chowder, and buttery lobster tails on the eve of OUR TENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Yes, it's been ten years since a spider dropped down from the leaves of an old oak tree and forced Jacob to stop the Justice of the Peace's speech about love and fidelity to pinch the little sucker off my bare shoulder. And no, he did not hurt the spider.
Bliss, from minute one.

Ross and Andrea are two of the nicest, most giving people I know. They always think of the other person first and would give you anything of theirs that you needed- right now! And they are all about their family.
