that brown house

steph (standing amidst the post-party dirty dishes): do you realize that we got the house (with the exception of the “office”) all cleaned up and presentable, made a mountain of food, strung little white lights outside, and then had almost 50 people over and didn’t take a single picture?

eric: we were having too much fun.

steph: but i promised photos to the people who read the blog!

eric: how about some gratuitous cat photos? the one of entropy curled up among your mom’s photographs is cute…

so, last night i took more pictures of the cats:

neo was in the bathroom sink and entropy was next to the orchid, but neither seemed overly keen to have his picture taken…

meanwhile, eric was engulfed in computers:

isn’t he cute?

so, we think the party was a success. we got to see some folks we hadn’t seen in awhile, including some friends who were visiting from portland, eat a decadent birthday cake prepared by christia, and *big grin* announce our engagement without usurping somebody else’s party to do so! yup, we’re getting married! squeeee! it’s been a very busy crazy year for us, so it may take us some time to decide when, where and how we want to “make it official” but we’re definitely going to host a celebration…and we’ll probably even blog about the preparations!
