Why my home will never look like the Pottery Barn catalog

In addition to Christian's curiosity, here are a few more reasons.

- PB's exorbitant additional shipping charges
- Daniel
- Michael and Joseph's abundance of shoes, and unnecessary school papers
- My shoes (size 13)
- Junk Mail (note that PB catalog does not have a junk mail organizer, nor do you see any junk mail in the scrolled iron bins and other fancy containers. Curse you ValPak!)

But I do recommend Craigslist.org (newyork.craigslist.org to be specific). Lots of cool stuff there. Even from PB.

There. Happy now, Josh?

Juliane invented a cool way to tell our kids about #5. She said she was making them a "very special lunch." She then proceeded to serve them baby food, and waited until they figured it out.

It took a while.
