A Walk in the Woods

This is the first evening we've had at home all together in quite a while. We all sat down to a "day-before-a-race" pasta dinner and then Andrew, Aidan and I took a walk in the woods. I love this photo because you really get a sense for how lush and green New York is in late spring. It might just have been the perfect walk except for the unsettling sound of gypsy moth caterpillar poop raining down from above. This year they (the caterpillars) are horrendous! Then Andrew burned a giant pile of boxes for a quick bonfire, and Abby, Alex, Andrew and Aidan went up to the barn to jump on the trampoline. An evening like this is greatly appreciated after all the running around we've been doing.

After a Run In with a Deer Fly

This is poor Andrew last summer after a deer fly bite on his cheek. As you can see his face swelled right up. He was very uncomfortable but it provided an opportunity for Andrew to ham it up for the camera while I laughed my fool head off and I snapped some pictures. I used one of these photos for his "follower" picture. My secret hope is that if I post an embarrassing photo, Andrew might enter into the 21st century and actually change his follower photo...or post a comment...or even just READ THE BLOG!
