Auntie M (Marin) meets the kids!
|
Auntie M reads the phone book to Takumi (one of his
favorites!)
|
Auntie M cuddles Cassie.
|
|
Cassie opens presents from her Maryland relatives. Notice
her earlier opened bear claw slippers.
|
Happy Cassie!
|
Takumi watches his truck video.
|
|
Corliss (our friend and art teacher from elementary school)
came to visit.
|
She brought the hats she made for her hat class at UVM!
|
And we're all wearing Corliss originals.
|
|
Takumi wears his favorite hat and sun glasses.
|
Cassie gets into the act.
|
Takumi gets a cuddle from Zundee - our neighbor.
|
|
Marin and I manage to get some shopping in while the kids
are napping. This is our favorite store in Middlebury where
Lois works.
|
Marin shares her lobster with Takumi. Lois and I refused to
share.
|
We all huddle together for a birthday picture for Sam.
|
|
Takumi gets tossed in the air.
|
Cassie giggles.
|
And then Takumi gets tickled!
|
|
Dancing in the kitchen.
|
Takumi lets Cassie ride on his (well actually it was given
to her, but . . .) car for the first time.
|
Traffic bottleneck!
|
|
Cassie loves the Home Depot carts.
|
Takumi tries out the riding mowers.
|
Lois's new sensation lilac with other lilacs in bloom behind
it. These are my favorite spring flower.
|
|
The tulips in the 1957 Chevy Memorial Truck garden.
|
Mike's chickens under the willows.
|
Hugs for Auntie M.
