In the Merry Month of May

We've had a busy couple of months, with lots of visiting from friends and family.  I managed to miss my fifteenth college reunion (drat!) but some college friends showed up at our door anyway.  In theory, Haverford College, my alma mater, helps its frosh get acclimated by dividing them into Customs groups of about 20 students who live together freshman year.  In reality, these are your friends for life and they'll visit any old time.  First up was Fred who stopped in for dinner and ended up with a long trip to the playground with a couple of kids.

Very obliging, that Fred.

Next was Beka, my freshman year roommate.  She brought Frances her very own crown to make.  

Oh, the colors!

Frances was just a touch pleased.

Frances wanted everyone to get a chance to wear the crown, or at least a party hat.

Beka brought along her daughter Molly (or Amelia - take your pick).  She was a real pleasure.  She slept through the night and ate anything Beka put in front of her.  Where, oh where did we go wrong?

Frances did fairly well with the one year old, though she could use some more sharing practice before Chandler gets mobile and grabby.  Chandler, on the other hand, was blissfully oblivious.  I love that about wee bairns.

Now if we could just see them all again before too many years pass.
