Two little things
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012Funny moments from this morning’s commute: As we passed Cambridge Common (a restaurant/bar with a fantastic beer selection and remarkably delicious macaroni & cheese), Charlotte piped up from the back seat, “I can eat mac and cheese?” Apparently this was not the first time she shared that association.

She greets people (“Hi!”) and bids them farewell, complete with blowing kisses. […]
