Old Pictures

Today's good things are old pictures. Last Christmas (not this past Christmas, but a year ago!), I got a really nice digital picture frame that should hold a whole album of pictures. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to select and load pictures onto it.

This weekend I started to remedy that situation. I looked through a bunch of our old digital pictures and brought back a lot of old memories.

Here's a picture of the girls when we were in Wales one summer. We stayed at a small hotel that was actually a converted stone barn. The girls got to feed some baby lambs and run around the fields. It was a good time.

Here's a picture of baby Sam. In this picture he's about 5-6 months old. He's 10 now.

This is a picture of Ally and her cousin Mary Beth. This is one of my favorite pictures of them.

In addition to old pictures, we also have new pictures. Kate's 18th birthday party with her friends was a success. This year she had an Indian theme. She borrowed saris from a friend and had all the girls dress up in native garb, then they went to Guru -- a local Indian restaurant -- for dinner. The staff at Guru was apparently delighted with them and gave them a lot of special attention. Then they came home and watched "Bride and Prejudice," a Bollywood classic.

Here's a picture of Kate in her sari in front of the curtain of floating flowers we made as a decoration.
