Picture 1 of 9

And Gigi is a first born! So, I thought to collect some photographic documentation of her first months in one place.

Aren’t smart phones like the iPhone or Droid neat? Kevin sends us the “Picture of the Day” from his iPhone several times a week. When we were up in Birmingham last week we noticed that Genevieve works hard to free her hands before she settles in to sleep. Hence, “The Sleepy Claw!” I can see how much she has grown because I know which little gown this is, and how much she fills it up now, where before she was rather lost in it.

You go girl!

• 2 pkgs Simply potatoes shredded hashbrowns
• 1 qt half and half (the real stuff)
• 1 stick of butter (real butter is best)
• 1 med onion finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper

Melt the butter in the half and half (I do this in the microwave); mix in the chopped onion and add salt and pepper to taste. Put the potatoes into a 9″ x 13″ baking dish. Pour the half and half mixture over the potatoes; top with the parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400 for 35-45 minutes — until the top is golden brown.

Serves 12 normal people, or 3 or 4 water polo players.

I hope Genevieve will know all four generations: Martha (great-grandmother), me (grandmother, Martha’s oldest), Marie (mother and my daughter) and of course, Genevieve. My grandmother (Martha’s mother) was really big on multigeneration photos — so we are carrying on the tradition. I’m also beginning to wonder if Genevieve’s generation will ever include any boys — so far it’s all girls on both sides of the aisle.

Also, there is a series of articles at Far In Space on metabox creation and display.

My brother has a nice scanner, and has been scanning some old photos of late. These were taken in front of “the little house” in Florence. I am the oldest, with Leah 2 years younger and Bob 2 years younger than Leah… so, these look to be somewhere around the fall of 1957.

Picture 1 of 3

From left to right, me, my father and my sister on the front porch. Maybe we are 4 and 2 or 5 and 3

She’s the newest member of the family — she kept us up all night, but when she was ready to be born she came very, very fast.

Now we can buy pink, pink and more pink!

So — in March, trekked on up the zoo for an outing. They even decided to both look at the camera at the same time!

Two of my girls discussing life…

Auntie Marie and Lily seem to be discussing deep things in life — are the rolypolys dead or asleep? Where can we find more of them? Is the sky blue? Can we blow more bubbles?
