This afternoon, we took a ride with Lynne, George, and Ensign to Morse's Sauerkraut in Waldoboro (near the Rockland coast). There somehow began this tradition of doing "German" food on the 4th of July (dont ask me....) and Morse's is this amazing gem of midcoast Maine; they have a little German restaurant called "Little German Restaurant," as well as a huge spread of all imported goods from Europe (mostly Germany and Austria) like dips, cheeses, beverages, pastries, sausage, deli, and more. It is amazing actually, I could spend all day in there sampling stuff, and I am sure that come inventory time for the store, the staff is there for DAYS! Anyway, we were there to eat, peruse, and get some stuff for our "German" cookout tomorrow. Das Hut mer Shre henay! Above, Amanda is holding a loaf of Babka, a Jewish bread perfected by Ed's Poultry in Brockton Mass (haha). Traditionally, Babka is a cinnamon raisin bread coated with cinnamon and sugar. My sister used to kill for it when she was younger. This loaf, baked by the famous Green's Bakery in Brooklyn NY, is different...containing chocolate. I dont even like Babka, and we've eated almost the whole loaf. Eat your heart out Auntie KK!Below, Handy-Pop and Lynne discuss the significance of the Weinerschnitzel's role in our current economic recession, while Amanda changes Callum's diaper, and George disappears back inside to, in his words, "pick up a few more things."
Our (suddenly medieval dungeon looking) lunch table, complete with our waitress who was IN LOVE with Callum. I didnt even think about this before, but now, looking at the photo, I cant help but thinking she looks (kind of) like a younger picture of my mom (well....EVERY picture of someone is a picture of when they were younger.....think about that!). Callum enjoyed some of Daddy's schnitzel, some of mommy's Reuben, and some of grammy's potato salad. Also, he indulged in some delicious pickles.
Callum's new car seat! His maiden voyage. A big (and sad!) day for us....but, as you can tell, he LOVES it. He looks out the window and can see everything. He is also happy because he is playing with the car keys, which are his favorite thing in the world!
After a long day of processed meat, Callum cuddles up with his good friend Curious George for a good night's sleep.......

Today was a very fun day. The sun even came out for our little outing. I just have to say that I LOVE that picture of Callum in his new car seat! He's getting so big! Callum is so much fun to be with - quite a personality! - and I just
love him so much!
Jared, you should smell and taste that bacon we bought. Wow!
Schnitzel is actually very popular in Greece as well. . . .I'm guessing a left over product from the German occupation in dubya dubya two. I guess not everything about Hilter sucks? Just about everything except for spreading Schnitzel to the rest of Europe.
I Love the hat and the smile with Callum in his new car seat, he is getting so big, he always looks bigger in his photos for some reason....
That smile is beautiful.....
