Claudia is wearing an outfit that was mine when I was a baby - it is 35 years old and the elastic is still good. Amazing!

Happy Birthday Frances!

Our baby cousin Frances turned one this week. Her party was full of little ones from 3 years to 8 months - it was baby chaos!

Kute Kid pics

For his birthday this year Danny got some great camping gear from his parents. He and the kids work on their REI catalog poses.

Time to cook more at home!
