Get together in Wilmington

The whole family minus me.

Me with all the grandchildren 11 in all.


This was the ladies day out. We went to the Winterthur museum, where we watched lots of American antic furniture. Then a nice lunch at Buckley's tavern and then to the Brandywine art gallery. An old watermill turned into a museum. They had a lot of Andrew Wyeth's paintings and some other very nice paintings. I could not find a reproduction of my favorite landscape. All in all an enjoyable day.

An example of their flower arrangements.

The guys were in charge of looking after the children. Trevor came home so here is a picture of him in action.

You can see Quincy is just as busy keeping the children in line. Maybe they have a secret to baby sitting that we need to learn.

Home pictures

E has found a new way of playing runs on the piano. A dump truck run up and down the keyboard does amazing things.

Natalie enjoying her new niece.

This is deja vue: P man looks just like his dad when he was that age trying to drive the car.

Dd turns 2

Mormor and the birthday boy

Getting help from his sisters opening his presents.

maybe when you turn 2 you have trouble knowing who you are: part duck and part spiderman?

Bashful in front of all those big people.

Mom is great when you are deciding which present to open,

Boys helping dad paint.

Keeping out of the way of dad by having a water fight with each other.

It is more fun when you can get Farmor soaking wet.
