Live, from New York...

It's Monday afternoon! What an idyllic afternoon, lying in a hammock under the maple tree in Aunt Cathie's backyard, sipping lemon water and knitting a strawberry hat...

Lovely weekend with the family, lots of food, conversation, and we even managed to orchestrate a group photo although Vince had to be called back from a bike ride (we introverts all need our breaks - hence my afternoon in the hammock). The highlight of the festivities has been the six little ones, the next generation - Dillon Bordges (5), Madison Phelps (4), Sophia Bechtold (3), Kamryn Bordges (3), Solana Kane (almost 2), and Brody Phelps (1.5). At one point Vince took them all for a ride in a big red wagon, followed by a trailing mob of mom/grandma/aunt paparazzi with digital cameras. It was pretty hilarious.
