A Post from Stephanie

Whatever your beliefs, the afterlife sure gained an interesting cast of characters this week!  It is with a heavy heart that we have to add Estelle’s great grandfather (and my grandfather) to this list.  Herbert Garrison Jr. passed away peacefully in the hospital late last night.  I don’t know that he is moonwalking with Michael Jackson, but he sure is enjoying the company of a foxy 1970s Farrah Fawcett!  We are so happy we were able to visit with him earlier this month.  He never thought he would live to see a great grandchild, but things have a way of working out just right:

Watch Me Grow!

Estelle in her coming home outfit in April and again in June.  She is now too long, and the little pink ensemble must be retired!

Skype-ing With Avô

What Estelle is thinking:  I am truly mesmerized by this video conferencing technology that allows me to see all the way to Norfolk & zone out on the ceiling fan swirling above Avô’s head…

For those out-of-towners that have never been, this is what we were working on last winter and moved into in March:

Pool Party

This time Estelle enjoyed the water much more.

Uncle Charlie

We can thank the Phillies manager, Charlie Manuel, for having a certain nickname that made this shirt & photograph possible.
