We're so excited to go to South Africa for our honeymoon. Max hasn't been home in four years - his niece Breena was a baby when last he saw her! And Robin can't wait to meet his family and see where he grew up. We're planning to spend most of our time in Cape Town with Max's sisters, niece, and parents, but we might squeeze in a trip to Johannesburg and through the Karoo (Max's favorite place on earth). Also, we're stopping in Paris for a week on the way, because neither of us has ever been there, and this seems like the perfect time.

Because wine.

Max's vacuum cleaner, which was perfectly serviceable for one person, is utterly overwhelmed by the detritus of two people + two bunnies + 1 Cricket.

The quest to conquer the Cricket fluffles and Daisy/Fritz tumbleweeds is waged daily.

We love cutting things: carrots, apples, cheese, cows...

It doesn't even look like a trash can! It looks like a shiny capsule of cleanliness.

For picnics in the park...or even the backyard!

So we can have dinner parties and no one has to eat off the little bunny plates.

This is so cool! Think of the number of pancakes that could be made on this...

My favorite cookbook now has a sequel!

So we can finally throw out every warped, battered margarine tub that Robin still takes lunch to work in.
