Calvin Portrait

One of my favorite pictures of Calvin. He is such a joy to have in our lives it is hard to remember the fear and sense of loss we experienced at his birth even only one year later. I have am certain he will provide unexpected joy for a lot of people in his life.

Cowboy party

One of our friends had a cowboy party for their son's first birthday. Calvin actually ate more hotdog than he's ever eaten of anything else... which had a strange effect on his facial hair...

We also got our first new car today. Toyota Sienna minivan. Lots of space for kids and family. Just hard to plunk down the payment, since I'm such a deal-seeker, and Sue just wanted to be done shopping (OK, so did I). Hopefully last car for at least 10 years.




And who said girls can't be cowboys!

Long walk to Harvard

Who knew we would never get there. But who knew how beautiful it would be along the way. Six men taking a break from family for a weekend of camping and hiking. 6 miles to the summit, three above the tree line. Amazingly beautiful.
