Yes, We're Related

My favorite picture from Rhode Island is this one that was taken at the pier where we bought our lobstas fresh off the boat.

You can tell Ella and I are related because we a. have the same expression on our faces, and b. are thinking the same things (trust me we are, she told me) which were, in no particular order.

Christ its cold out here.
WHAT is that smell?

Luckily for us (well me, I don’t think Ella got any) the smell in no way related to the tastiness of the the clawed monsters. We got 2 four pound lobsters for the 4 of us and pretty much had to be rolled away from the kitchen table. In the words of Erin “who knew you could get full off lobster?”

Shortly after that this picture was taken.


In it you can see the Half Street Fiance and Brother dealing with the Lobsta guy, while Tia explains to Ella that if she came to live with me, she would never have to experience this kind of bone shattering coldness. You can tell by her expression that she was intrigued by this “Houston” place I was speaking of. Also notice the cute hot pink mittens in Half Street Brothers back pocket. For the love of God man! Put those things on her hands! Have you no mercy?!

Having just been at the same pier last week, I can tell you it is cold. To our good fortune, there was a nice warm pub close by to wait for our lobsta to get steam. Great eating.

I am currently in Japan. Will write soon.

Awwww. I love it. We miss you. I'd be sad but we're going to see you in a month!

Yeah, I think it'll be too cold to get lobstas anymore but when spring comes, watch out.

Yes... let us get Ella interested in this warm place called Texas. Then maybe someday she will beg her parents to take her to visit everyone in Texas...
