This has been the essence of my little summer.  Eliot is growing into being an award winning big brother.  He has not noticed any attention deficits due to the new Willow.  All the shrubbery I removed at the beginning of the summer has returned in force so I have some work to do and all that.  I am looking forward to a trip south for a few days to help ring in the newest cousin addition ceremony.  

  I will be sure to bring some scuba gear to go with my suit coat.  That is an inside family joke because Wizzo fell into the ocean at Tim's wedding.  Hopefully I will come away from the family gathering exhausted and resolute to have a family vacation this coming summer as this time around we kind of had to cancel last minute.

   Here are a couple of recent pics for the blogosphere
