MADELINE'S BIRTHDAY

Last week I drove to Michigan with my sister to celebrate my great-niece's first birthday! Of course, she's the most adorable little girl in the world, as you can see from the pictures I took.




My little brother is now a grandfather, which feels kind of strange. I remember when he had hair down to his shoulders and a full beard. He doesn't have any of that now:



This is the whole family, mommy, daddy and baby:




Since I live in NY and they live in MN this is the first time I have seen the baby, and the whole family, in a long time, so this visit was very special. It was also my brother's 30th wedding anniversary, so here are some shots of everyone. This is my brother's family:



This is my father and mother, and brother and sister:




And of course, my parents are now great-grandparents, which is also wonderful. Here are three generations, skipping the second:



Driving home I got a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania. I mean, you're supposed to go 80 on I80, aren't you? The cop didn't buy it, and wrote it out. Darn. Anyway, I'll leave you with this image, of Madonna and child:
