Okay. It's February.

Hello. My name is Adam, and I'm not very good at this. It's been six months (?) since my last post. The kids have grown up now and left the house. Wendy and I are enjoying our retirement in Boca...

So yes, I've been busy (who hasn't). And I suck. So I though it high time I pop in with an update:

First up, my wife. She's been ornery of late. You can see her giving me that look.



We've all been sick with the crud, the baby with the croup. So we're needing a break, some hope. About mid-week, the weather got nice and we went out back for a while. Played popsicle store and sat and listened to the birds. I told Sophie it would be fun to sit and listen. She didn't believe me, of course. But then she did.

We're all ready for Spring around here. Sophie found the first signs of it. On the Bradford Pear, one sprout unfolded, delicate and full of promise.

Here she is, being.



Emme's feeling particularly fond of me right now, which has kept me up.



And Olivia. There's no way to get depressed with that kid around. She's 17 months and holds a pen. She's Olivia.
