Happy 4th!

Although the fireworks initially sparked the following comment from Chachi: "These fireworks are pathetic!" and then from Charlotte: "These are so lame!", the top of East Rock display delivered in the end. Best of all we were in the company of dear friends.








In other and earlier news, we've had a fun visit from beloved Uncle Teddy - whom we get to see again in a few weeks in Germany.


A walk down mem lane to the chapel Marc and I married in...and with us the one familial German representative who made it to our nuptuals.

June came and went. July is off and running. Here a few memories from a last day celebration at a friend's home.




It really has been a year of wonderful friendships. For both H and P. This deserves a post unto itself. Here's a tasting of things to come. Cursing the digital camera right about now. I've only got a few thousand to plow through.
















Last but not least our trip to Lake George. Marc and I, thanks to Marc's golf prowess, enjoyed a completely indulgent, all expenses paid trip this past weekend. Pristine grounds and gorgeous lake. Thanks to the unprecedented, the utterly amazing grandparents of the century, we jetted off without a care in the world. Only to return to Boppa's plea to Marc and me: "Please, we'll PAY YOU so we can take the children more often." It's a sweet deal for everyone. As they say, you can't choose your kids, you can't choose your parents. I couldn't have chosen better on either front.








We stayed at an historic resort. A taste of days of old.
