Hi all — a quick update from the beach for some breaking news.  After spending 3 days with 2 kids his age with voracious appetites, Nico has eaten his first food.  He sucked on some canaloupe today — willingly — and even asked for more.  We have finally found something he’ll actually eat!  (He had [...]

Nico’s big cousin Nick graduated from high school this year.  We went up to NY to celebrate his achievement and wish him well when he goes off to the University of Tampa this fall.  Enjoy the photos!

Before we head out to the beach, I wanted to post these photos from July.  This set does not include photos from our recent trip to NY for Nick’s high school graduation — those will come soon.  And there’s no time for a long update, but I don’t think Nico really reached any milestones in [...]

Staying with the theme of gorgeous spring flowers in DC, Frank and I took Nico to the US Arboretum the day before Easter.  We had been there once before but didn’t realize how sprawling the place is — we had parked and walked and thought we covered a lot of ground.  This time, we drove [...]
