My wife hates carrots...

My wife hates carrots, broccoli, yogurt, tofu, nuts and granola to name a few. Doesn't sound strange? Well my wife is a vegetarian who loved these things before she became pregnant. Cravings and food adversions are a crazy thing. Something that I will never understand. I now find that if I really want Rebecca to scowl at me, all I have to do is suggest that she eats carrots. Carrots??? Who hates carrots??? Now, you may not love them, but to sware that they are your mortal enemy???

Fortunately there are still a few things that she likes, one of which is not the way our dog smells. The daily battle between her love of Hardy and her disdain for his "doggy aroma" is quite interesting and complex. On one hand, she really wants to play with him and spend time with him. On the other hand, his doggy odor (remember the heightened sense of smell) is driving her crazy. Oh yeah, in addition, he farts often. Anyway, I will let everyone know how this epic battle turns out.

Expectant Grandpa here. Just found out about the Truffle day before yesterday. Grandma and I are pretty excited. This will be number six for us, but we're just as thrilled as we were with our first (and every one in between). Besides, we know that our daughter and son-in-law will be great parents! Cheer 'em on!!
