Megan, we miss you!

Megan graduated from Westminster in May and will be off to Disneyworld soon for an incredible internship. We are simultaneously happy for Megan and sad for us. Megan started babysitting for Lizzie and Nat in the 2nd semester of her freshman year. She became part of our family and, in Lizzie's eyes, a real life Disney princess. In this case, I completely approve of Lizzie's choice of a princess to emulate. Megan, we miss you and know you will be a loving and intelligent force in this world.

Do giraffes say "cheese"?

Lizzie is documenting the wildlife that the Mayers sent her for Christmas. Photo taken in mid-to-late winter of this year.

Nothing like a good game of "Pass the Salt"

This photo was taken after dinner one night in early April. We were so desperate for Spring weather that cabin fever was at an all time high. To amuse ourselves, Nat, Lizzie and I asked one another to "pass the salt" and then proceeded to roll the wooden rooster on wheels (it holds our salt & pepper) around the table. I'll post another photo of Lizzie cracking up over this game. Belly laughs all around!
