We have always loved going down to the Tidal Basin in spring to take pictures of the blooming cherry blossoms.  It’s been several years since we’ve been able to drag ourselves out of bed before the sun comes up to get sunrise photos without a crowd.  This year was no different — why wake a [...]

Nick applied to a bunch of colleges and, of course, all of them wanted him to pick them.  So he set off on a tour which brought him to DC to visit Towson.  Marie brought him here and his sisters, Tara and Dana, came along to hang out with the baby.  While Marie and Nick [...]

I haven’t put any up from the hospital — his birth photos are here, you’ve seen a couple of videos, and really, the time we [...]
