Fifteen pounds of uncured ham. (Note to self: Chargrilled ham is unbelievably delicious, but a raw ham is not for the faint of heart.) Eight friends, two visiting from Ireland. Two dogs. One baby.

I play Bon Iver’s self-titled second album almost every night as I rock Vivian to sleep. It’s the perfect soundtrack to the happy ending of our day — as though a camera is zooming out from the scene as I hold her head in my hand, and her cheek to my cheek.
