Hope everybody had a happy holiday! We enjoyed the latest in a long tradition of family reunions over the 4th. It was busy, what with the cousins and the swimming and "HIYA!" - ing rocks into the inlet and outrunning water spout tornadoes on the lake and then not napping for days and days.

Here D prepares to enjoy a little educational fun ("cheeeeeeese") . . .

But it was also restful and cozy. Here's my sweet baby at the end of a long, fun weekend . . . (Aunt Buff, notice Maggie Bear occupying a place of great honor, propping up baby tushie)
