Bottle Up to the Bar

We gathered with friends at Monroe's on Saturday to celebrate Paul's birthday with a cocktail. We often now muse that our precious children wouldn't exist had we not met at the local restaurant. The owners, Mark and Laura, came to Vermont to attend our wedding and we still go in (somewhat rarely) to see our friends, including our buddy Tara, who shot these fun pictures during our little fete for Paul.

It's really nice to have a place to go where they not only tolerate your kids, but embrace them




(if I owned the bar I'm not sure I'd want it littered with baby bottles on a Saturday night...but that's community for you). Lucky for them we only stayed an hour (Harry is very well behaved when being plied with bread).

Why is Harry looking at his knee? Well to see his "knee sticker" of course. Our first band aid. I'm sure that will be the last one too.
