Tuesday, September 6th, 2005On Monday, Judah met his cousin Shayla Brattli for the first time since she was an infant, and was instantly smitten. She’s a doll (which he loves) that doted on him all afternoon (which he also loves). (Note the tongues sticking out of both mouths. Coincidence, or DNA? ) Shayla’s dad is Steven Brattli, my [...]
It’s nice when family treats you like family (even though you’re also perfect strangers)
Tuesday, September 6th, 2005On Wednesday night, we visited my grandfather’s wife Mary, and my dad’s Uncle Isaac and his family at Uncle Isaac’s house. What a blast! It was great seeing Mary again.

We’re going on vacation!
Sunday, August 21st, 2005I can’t wait! After a grueling summer, we’re going here to veg (and refresh) from 8/28-9/4. Originally we had booked a timeshare in New Hampshire begining 8/27 so we could attend a wedding in Vermont. The wedding was canceled, so we changed the destination when someone offered (on Thursday!) to buy us plane tickets and [...]
