Beauty in the Blades

Meet Maggie

This little girl is something! The boys are being great big brothers and Henry is tickled to have one more cousin -- a girl! Check out their new blog: www.spokanegang.blogspot.com

Family Considerations

WELCOME MARGARET!!!

In no time, our little (OK, not so little) wonder came to meet us on May 18, 2007. She arrived a whopping 10lbs. 2oz. -- full of noise, wiggles and delight! Her hands are large to take on this world, her eyes bright to see what lies ahead and her hair, of course, a fine red.

Jack, Noah, Ed, Nanny Carrie and I were witness to Momma Deb's powerful strength and Maggie's first breaths. Everyone is doing great! Photos to follow. The fun has begun!

Friendly Considerations

A wonderful visit from dear friends made our weekend truly memorable! Anne and Shelli joined us for hiking in the woods, buying starts and pie at the farmer's market, barbecuing, enjoying Henry's funny antics and helping read the Bonner County Human Rights Task Force scholarship applications! The weather brought ample sunshine to sweeten the deal!

Considering People Over Time

Old friends, dear friends...25 years later!

California Dreaming

Henry and I are in California for the 50th Anniversary of Marin Country Day School and my 25th reunion of 8th grade! Many are surprised that 8th grade would be worth celebrating, yet MCDS was really a family -- and the reunion proved to be just that! So wonderful to see everyone and their lil' ones! I feel so fortunate to have been afforded such an environment for my formative years -- 25 years later, it is much the same, only more gardens and greenery!

Loving Moments

Cute Boy Walking!

Life's about to get interesting, eh? This little one is on the move!

The Growing Family

WOW! A beautiful quilt!

Higher and Higher

Henry has taken to the backpack so Shannon and I are trying to get out and high above as much as possible. This past weekend we ventured up Gold Hill with our new friend Scott and then took to the steeper terrain on Sunday up Mickinick Trail. The change of scenery was welcome for everyone -- and our legs are stronger for it!

Every day we seem to love this little guy more -- this falling in love process is certainly taking us both by surprise again and again!

Considering Henry at 9 Months

Eating his first matzoh ball from his auntie Deb, loving bath time, talking up a storm (even to the plants), pulling up on everything (and walking any day now...) -- Henry is simply a wonder to behold!

Spring Considerations

On our recent trip to Seattle, we enjoyed time with friends, flowers and the beauty of the Emerald City. Henry loved seeing all his aunties and cousins and his moms loved being surrounded by our loving friends!

Great time with Lara & Melissa (Henry got his first matchbox car and LOVES it!)
