Elea O'Meara Mossay

By the time I'd gotten around to posting the picture of pregnant Jamie -- about 10 pictures down -- Elea had already been born. Here she is at a few days old. Welcome!

The Yuck.

Ben's California car is deeply unhappy in this weather.

It would be a lot prettier with a little sunshine, rather than the dreary, rainy gray we've got today.

Annie's treasures

Annie found our luggage, not entirely unpacked, and decided what was left belonged to her She dragged about ten things into her crate -- a can opener (thanks, Alex & Jessica!), coasters and a day planner (thanks, Santa!), and a Marine Corps uniform belt, amonth others. The nice thing is that she didn't damage a thing!

Oops

Somehow I didn't get these two picture of Matt and Annie's new baby, Silas, posted in order. Amazing how much that boy looks like his older brother and sister.

Here's a picture of Ben and his dad, about 15 minutes after we got on the ground in San Diego. Boy, does it look different than New York.

This kid knows how to ham it up for the camera. And he's got a smile to kill.

We spent some time on a gorgeous afternoon at Wind and Sea Beach, a little more than two years after we got married there. The small part of the beach where we were married has been largely washed away, and now you have to jump down about four feet from the rocks to get to the sand. Amazing how much it changed in so little time.

We spent a lot of time with gos on this trip. Lauren and Eduardo's Lola and Trelo (we didn't get a picture of him) and Bob and Sue's Ponco and Rosie (below). Great dogs, all.
