Happy boy
We all had a great time taking part in Luke's first bath. Big thanks to the Pink Bath Princess for her invaluable help.
Happy Birthday
The spell
He is here
On Saturday we went to the hospital to meet the baby. Norah was thrilled. "That's baby Yuke. He's my yiddle bruh-der". It was wonderful to meet this little person who for so long had masqueraded as part of Chiara's tummy. Finally we borrowed James and went out for ice cream. Our almost three year old was crushed when it was time to leave him at the hospital. "I have to go with Daddy" she wailed. When asked about this she cried, "He needs me". Fortunately, this too passed.
Good morning
Fun at the farm
A perfect day
Pondering the lives of ants
Beautiful helper
Both sides now

What calls us back
Family photos indicated that it was time to leave Atlanta and drive north. Chiara and Alessia are big with our next grandchildren. Future big sister Norah and big brother Ethan, appear to be heading off for their collage admission interviews. We've been gone too long.
The Anniversary
surprise
Once ready for departure, we had a sudden change of plans: two new ship mates. In half an hour's time, somehow, Jeremie, Jason, and Jeremie's alternator were ready to head west with us for the St. John's River. The spinnaker flew on the banks and then we slogged with following seas for several days. Having these sailors aboard was wonderful. Unfortunately the food stores ran low and we can only apologize for some of the plates of stuff passed off as meals.
Last beach walk
At last
the best part of sailing is
prickers and beans
