The Amazing Maggie

Here is a reasonably good shot of the house. The pictures I took of Maggie were on the porch on the picnic table. This was a little girl's outfit I wanted to take a picture of and show Michelle. The pictures didn't turn out, so we edited them for light and then found she had the most delightful expressions on her face. I only wish I could say that she got her good looks from me.

We are contemplating a trip to Utah on Wednesday. It was up in the air and kind of a last minute thing. Jill keeps saying that she wants to see people while they are alive, and not just go to funerals. (The last time they went out was for Nile's funeral.) We will miss Dana and Corinne and Josh being out there as we loved hanging out with them. It would be a quick trip as school is starting next Thurs.

Kelly is holding Ivy on the porch.

Lynn and Emma visiting. The weather was perfect and I never thought we could pull it off.




A picture of our original family, Toby and Jill's family, and The Todd Show with his bubble machine. That wasn't actually at the party, but he looked so cute I put it on anyway.

Late pictures of our family and wedding party

Ok, I hope this isn't a big mistake. I uploaded this picture from a small one I could not see, so if you see a goofy look on someone's face........... After Barrett and Emma's open house we went inside and took a whole bunch of family pictures since it was the last time we were going to all be together. What a riot. It was late in the evening and we were all tired and not in the mood to take pictures.

These are our boys.

An Actual New Post from Mom

So, Michelle, this one is for you to look at and tell me what you think. Of course I will talk to you on the phone while you critique my project.

To all the rest of you.......stay tuned.

Toby and Jill's Kids! In a Pool!

Toby and my Dad finally got the pool cleaned up at my parents' house. Hollis is so proud because he is tall enough to touch the bottom, and Ivy is perfectly happy set adrift to paddle about on her own in a little float. Liv and Mag have new goggles, as you can see. You can also see Olivia's tonsils in that last one.

The promised pictures!

Hello from Maryland!  I finally coordinated being at a computer WITH the picture CD at the SAME time, if you can believe it!  Anyway, I hope you all can see what exactly is going on in these pictures; one of them I am just on the pier over by Barrett's parents' house (you can see the sailboats all docked across the way), another I am helping canoe across the river to go feed Grendle, another I am...can you guess?-- feeding Grendle, another, I am bopping around in the parents' kitchen (it is a pretty shot of my hair, the shirt that I tye-dyed, the back of one of my aprons, and the linen petal skirt that I made out of a tablecloth), another I am driving his dad's boat (his NEW one! Don't tell him!), and another where Pheobe, and I are marooned on this teenie island that you can only be on when the tide is low--Barrett paddled away to take that picture.  Unfortunately there are no pictures of Barrett, himself, just yet.  We went and say the beautiful cherry blossoms in Washington DC and there are pictures of BOTH of us together!  They were AMAZINGLY beautiful and DC was particularly pleasant at night!  Anyway, be patient and you can see those ones too!
