Photos before we hit the road

Here's a big smile from Jacob. They don't give out these smiles willy-nilly, which makes us work all the harder to try to "earn" them.



Most of their affections are reserved for chandeliers. Particularly this one in their bedroom. They stare at it, entranced and in love. It gets more smiles than Kate and I combined. It's not even a very nice light fixture. I can't believe I'm feeling jealous pangs of rivalry towards some tacky, Ikea chandelier.
