Smattering.

As promised, a number of recent pictures for all of you out there. Enjoy.


Gatherin' 'round to read at Christmas. Elise (and all of us) attested to Gary's outstanding reading abilities.


The brother and sister chillin' together. Jude might have been a little upset out me taking a picture. Esmé was far away enough that she didn't get mad about me having the camera instead of her.


Ezzie loves her little vintage highchair: it means she gets to eat!


We thought she looked like a Japanese rock star. This was her Christmas Eve outfit.


Jude playing Junior Mastermind with his favorite cousin (and my favorite niece) Marta.

I can't believe it has been almost a year to the day since I have seen y'all. (I am practicing my drawl for when me Texas friend visits next week)
It has been a long year my friends.
Esme is so big and I love Jude's hair.
I wish I was going to be there for her first birthday. We will have to have a 1/2 year birthday party when you come out! Give everyone my love.

Thanks for your comments! We miss all of you, and miss your not being here for Ezzie's birthday. She played it up real well. She's the queen.

Another fun time with friends and family yesterday (Sunday). Lots of food, drink, fun in our little apartment. We did it Canada/St. Herman's-style. We missed you Vancouverites!
