see a new video of oz trying out his friend's walker here.


"it is ok, baby oz, i know you had a long trip with lots of visiting," says baby elizabeth.

amabel fits nicely into the swing with oz.

visiting old friends, dilcia and (newer) julia.

and don't forget sharing a drink in the park with jossan and miguel too.

hendrik and gail had an awesome wedding celebration, and h's parents were in from across the ocean. we met up on the c&o canal.

other people's toys are always a little more fun. luckily piper and violet were generous with the sharing.

oooh, can i see that too?

oh, i almost got it...wait, i have it in my hand...hmm, this thing is awfully hard to get a grip on.

sometimes it all just gets a little too much,

but swings and boats are a swell combo.

nooo papa, i don't want play the foot clap game while waiting to ride another train.

oh, ok. it is fun after all.

you say bedtime, and i say you're not the boss of me.

we hung out with carmen at dorothy day house, and had a nice visit with mary too!

chuck burger? are you serious? even oz can't believe that one.

oz's hands are big enough for the blocks, and his hair is long enough for some accoutrement.

cousin avery played the classic older-cousin-with-a-box-on-the-head game.

all tuckered out and in a deep sleep on the train ride home.
