I think Ella (the princess) will give her Papa fits when she is 15 or 16… and Lily (the artist) will have led the way! We travelled for holidays this year. Thanksgiving was spent in Florida with David and family. The girls shared their many interests with us: everything from Princesses and dancing to art [...]

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 [...]
