Successful Weeknight Dinner
We had our neighbors over for dinner tonight - we started with appetizers including caprese crostini and figs with goat cheese, very thoughtfully provided by our guests. Next up was carrot soup with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of parsley. After that we had stuffed peppers with kale & rice - thanks to our CSA for great veggies! Dessert consisted of apples stuffed with mascarpone, baked in red wine, topped with honey. We were all very full afterward. :)
Now if I were good at this blogging thing, I'd have photos of all the food. But since I'm just a novice, the only photo I remembered to take was of dessert:
Well, one photo is better than none!
Updated: I realized I forgot to add photos of Maya with our neighbors! Here they are:

Yes, We Are Those Parents
Our activities earlier yesterday went well - brunch in the morning and apple picking in the afternoon. Maya did her best to devour a gigantic apple while we were in the orchard:
And then proceeded to bang on a pumpkin that was about the same size as her:
And yes, she is wearing an MIT hoodie. What? You callin my baby a nerd?

As Usual, I'm Late
One note on the name: I don't mean to imply that our lives are like a late night comedy show, though honestly it does occasionally feel that way. The name is more of a reference to the fact that we tend to stay up late at night and I suspect that's when many of these blog posts will happen.
So here's what we did yesterday: went to a wedding! Our friends D and C had a beautiful ceremony and reception. Maya accompanied us for the ceremony - here's a photo of the three of us:
After the ceremony, Maya headed out with our friends J, R, and Z to watch the airplanes, eat yummy food, and go to bed at a proper bedtime. Hyder and I enjoyed the reception afterward at a beautiful yacht club - here's a photo of the gorgeous sunset:
All in all, a terrific day with perfect weather!
