Day 109 on Lexapro.

Day 86 on Lamictal.

posted much, much later…

This evening, Em and I enjoyed a visit from some wonderful friends.

My sweet friend Sarah (also known as Kim’s other best friend) brought her baby son, Isaac, to spend some time with Em and me.

Sarah was in my first grade reading class and I still remember how she got in trouble for playing with the velcro on her tennis shoes.

It was, after all, difficult for any of us to resist doing the same.

Now she is a writer for the Baltimore Sun.

And she has developed an interest in photography.

So, we were excited about playing photo shoot together on this night.

“It will be much better than Barbies,” Sarah wrote when I suggested the idea.

And it was.

Although my own camera battery had died, Sarah got a chance to photograph Isaac and Em.

Together.

And Apart.

The resulting pictures were just adorable.

After the photo shoot, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant where Em proceeded to get sick.

No. She really got sick.

And they had to clean it up.

But then she said she felt better and begged to stay.

So, against my better judgment, we did.

And, despite a rough start, the rest of our meal went exremely well.

Over a dual serving of Plato Mariachi, we ate and laughed and talked incessantly.

Then the time came to say goodbye.

This night, I was so glad we got to spend some time with these wonderful people.

And I hope they come again soon.
