Two Body Problem (orig)

We had a pretty exciting day today, although I unfortunately didn't get any pictures. Shanna had some business to attend to so I took care of Ezra without her for about five hours (about time). Ezra and I met our old friends Amy and Brian and their family at the Descanso Gardens. The botanical garden happens to be where I proposed to Shanna a little over seven years ago. Today was the garden's annual Easter egg hunt so among the million or so people there, Ezra and I were probably the only Jews. It was great to see Amy and Brian again, their oldest boy is four years old and I get a kick out of seeing what Ezra may be like in a few years.

Later this evening we went to our friend's home for a party. At one point during the evening, I thought to myself, "Where did all these children come from?" It seems like just yesterday we everyone I knew were snooty geeks where inevitably someone would talk about either science or some sort of grad school drama. Now it seems like we all have snotty kids and a party isn't complete unless there is at least one conversation about baby poop. In any case, we had a good time, and it made me want to throw a party sometime soon. The price to use the common room in our complex is pretty reasonable and a nice play yard nearby. I think we're going to have to make use of those this summer.
