4th of July awe

Grace, watching fireworks explode overhead in a variety of colors, from our front porch on the 4th of July: "Red and green at the same time? That's impossible."

Kitty Torture

You would think that Mango the cat, knowing that he will be treated rather roughly when Grace is near, would run. You would be wrong.

Mask

Grace and her new "sky" mask. (Note the shiny stars and yarnlike galaxies on the black background.)

Virginia and Georgia

Aimee and Grace have been back from their trip to the East Coast for a week now (almost two weeks, actually) and I'm just getting around to getting the pictures off the camera. More pictures to follow, documenting their epic quest across the East.

Grace Bathtime

Before Grace takes a bath, she sometimes takes the time to assemble an "audience" of dogs to keep watch over her.

Curious George

A high-five moment between C.G. and Grace, in Alexandria, VA.

Zoo in the Rain

Friday, June 2 - Nelson and Grace at the zoo, arriving during a rainstorm just as everone else was rushing out of the zoo to escape the rainstorm. A 1/2 hour later the zoo was emptied except for the few who remained, and the rain had stopped.

Riverside, CA

Nelson just returned from a 3-day NIH Grants Seminar in Riverside, California.  He never saw a river, so he's not sure what River the city is beside.  The city would more appropriately be named Roadside, California, since it consisted mainly of large, wide roads filled with traffic.  The Mission Inn is the coolest hotel he has ever stayed in the United States - taking up a full city block and filled with fountains, hidden courtyards, domes, spires, a stone bridge, two chapels, statues, paintings, stained glass, and a crazy kaleidescope of architectural styles.

Shed Move Work Party

Before and after pictures from our shed moving party, Saturday May 27, 2006. The question each person asked, after we moved the shed, was "Why didn't they just put the shed in the corner of the yard in the first place?" (The plants growing up the wooden frames in the right corner are our peas.)
