Look who's taking the photos now!!
Yes, Ian has now mastered Daddy's SLR Camera! Not only does Ian take a really good photo, he gives commands on where to stand and always says "another one" to be sure he gets more than one shot in. It's the way he quickly looks into the back of the camera to see how good his photo's are that makes us laugh the most!


Party timeWe had a quick chance to visit with the Boston gang before heading out of New England at a wondeful party hosted by our good friends Jon and Franchesca which allowed us to enjoy a terrific afternoon of fun with plenty of young friends for Ian to hang out with. Great seeing you all guys!


Back to Connecticut
After NYC, we all went to Connecticut to visit with Auntie Olive. Then a visit to see Paige and Griffy led to a fun evening for all as Ian got to play with his buddies right up to bedtime (and beyond!).


Ian's Big Vacation!It all started in the UK, with a flying visit to sunny (wet!) Hitchin to see family and friends. Ian got to enjoy some fun in Nana Margarets garden on the skateboard and visit with Grandad Bob and Sue. As ever, Ian got to play Grandad's drums, waking up the neighbors on a Sunday morning!
