Happy Father's Day!

Many thanks, love, and best wishes to all family papas, or, in other words, Happy Father's Day!

Samuel would like to wish his papa, opas and great-grandpa a Happy Father's Day (for the second time in his young life).


Peter & Karola celebrated Father's Day by finally putting up the great prints from Grandpa Ed during the Spring Cleaning weekend. (Hey technically, it IS still spring!)

Oh, and Karola documented the Georgia O'Keeffe print from her mother.

Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to Samuel (13th) and Uncle Chris (14th) and Tante Marion (10th)



Samuel had a nice day celebrating his first year. We have an intolerably long video which is in three parts. We see Sam from his morning nap to lunch. Then there is the big trip to the toy-store. Our neighborhood toystore is terrific and has a fun play-area which Samuel climbed around in. Finally we come back home to play and to enjoy a birthday treat. WARNING: This is only for totally dedicated fans of the little guy. For what it's worth, we do get some of the much-awaited crawling.

Oregon Trip!

We're back in Cambridge and getting ready for teaching next year, but we wanted to pay homage to the wonderful vacation we had at the beginning of the month. K, P & S joined Betsy, Ed, Chris, Tom, Celina and Kaela in the lovely area on the US West Coast just inland from Portland for a week in a woodland log cabin!

We were treated to:
- incredible landscapes of the Columbia River Gorge
and all of its stunning waterfalls,

- beautiful wooded walks along the sonorous mountain streams

- the dramatic snowy ridges of Mt.Hood and the panoramic vistas of Oregon's vineyard country.

We have the photos up at Flickr.com at our family "flickr" site. Open "Oregon Vacation" and then you can click on the different days and then view them as a slideshow or view individual pictures. Once you click on a specific photo and it opens on its own page you can download it by clicking on the "All Sizes" button above the photo and then downloading the original size or smaller sizes.

Anyway, how about some sneak previews? Here are the people:
