Evan Blue Eyes

"Lay off the camera, Dad!"

Ancient Jedi trick. "Watch my fingers."



Who can resist a face like that?

Pretty in Pink

Anna with her friends. What a cutie!

Kids, kids, kids

Everywhere we turn, there's kids.

and, of course, the ubiquitous monkey.

Dad turns the big 7-0

Celebrating his 70th birthday with a bunch of kids in St. Louis. Not enough candles for the cake.

Weekend at the Lake (of the Ozarks)

A good time was had by all. It's just too bad Teddy got lost and didn't make the trip home. Anna is dealing with separation anxiety, but I think she'll get over it.

A fall-like morning in St. Louis

I took the kids to the Wild Bird Sanctuary and they found a nice perch to rest upon.

Here at Lone Elk Park (saw lots more than the name would suggest) we threw rocks at the ducks. The kids were a little wound up after inhaling a dozen Krispy Kremes.

Another new school year

Emily began 2nd grade.

Thomas began 4th grade.

You ever notice that Thomas and Emily are rarely in the same picture?? It is no accident. We just call it rivalry.

Evan's First Birthday

It's really hard to believe that year one is already in the record books. And in just a few short months Thomas will turn 10. Wow, where have those years gone?

Riverbank Farm - Roxbury, CT

The owners of Riverbank Farm and the farmhands honored the memory of Uncle Stan with a wonderful dinner and warm reflections on his helpfulness to them and their produce. Sadly, it wasn't until his death that I learned of his rich life and deep talents. From helping to design the original lunar module, to helping restore the Park Slope area of Brooklyn, to volunteering so many hours to so many great causes, Stan left a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. At his memorial service today, people were given the opportunity to share stories, and after 30 minutes or so, the pastor finally had to cut them off. There were so many great stories that it was just overwhelming.


As the name suggest, the farm lies along on the bank of a river, providing water for irrigation during dry spells.

The buzz of small town community life.

At the organic farm you will find at least three Toyota Prius'. Four if Aunt Meg is there.

Perhaps the farm is off the grid as well.?

The beautiful turtle-shell shaped brick oven, complete with pizza cooking inside.

Thomas and company off to Honeyrock Camp (Three Lakes, WI)

Maria dropped off Thomas and James this morning in Wheaton (my old dorm in the background) for Thomas' first weeklong camp in northern Wisconsin. We'll catch up with him there later this week.

Joe's Place Fundraiser with the painter Billyo O'Donnell

Who's that standing there behind the famous painter? Oh my, it's my lovely wife Maria!
