Feels like the last time

Lots of things being done for the last time these days. We joked about it Sunday afternoon, when we were making a nearly blind turn onto Georgetown Pike, basically having to take a leap of faith that the road was clear. Elizabeth said, "let's never do that again!" After a couple of seconds I responded, "well, I bet we never take Georgetown Pike again, come to think of it."

Cate reports that she's taken it three times since then. Apparently Rte. 7 is too good for her. But she hasn't turned onto Georgetown Pike from Belview Road, has she?

Oh, wait, she has. But anyway, another last tonight as we made our last trip as a family to the bounty that is known as Wegmans. It's the last dinner out as a family here in Northern Virginia before the move. (Here the kids take a long last look at the voluminous fresh produce. Elizabeth said, "It's like four times as big as anyone else's produce aisle!")

Yes, Neil, we will miss Wegmans. There's nothing quite like it. You'll have to just take our word for it.

No Wegmans here... but we have lakes! And lots of good coops. And the weather is really nice (today).

Wit until they see the Minneapolis Farmers Market! If they want to get up by 6:00 this Sunday morning we can go then.
Wegmans doesn't have Baby Amelia either!

Is there a reason you are not posting pictures of the kids' faces? They do still have faces, right?
Wegmans does not have Baby Amelia, but they do have locally grown, organic, grass-fed, free-range babies.

Wegmans or no Wegmans....MN has something better...lots of family AND baby Amelia!
BTW Neil, I have been watching Amelia grow through your photos. She sure is a looker, cute as a button. It makes my heart happy to think of all the kids growing up together!
Of course, it makes my airfare a little higher for visits to the States but...I can handle it! :-)

Nice dress, Elizabeth. I know you still have a face. The artist was expressing himself. Don't pay attention to the face fascists.
