Joshy's Toes

My baby brother Josh fell asleep on Grandma and Grandpa's couch after a very hard week at work. I thought this image was just too funny not to capture.

Celebration in Florida

The whole family (minus my cousin Wilson who was stuck taking finals at Dartmouth) flew down to florida to celebrate Grandma's 80th Birthday. What a fantastic weekend (minus the weather!!!). It was fantastic spending the weekend with everyone - and I hope to do it again very soon!!! I only took a couple of pictures. I hope Mom figures out how to get hers online soon.

Swimming!

Swimming, swimming
in the swimming pool.
When days are hot,
when days are cold
in the swimming pool.
Breast stroke,
side stroke,
fancy diving too.
When days are hot,
when days are cold
in the swimming pool!

It is finally sunny and beautiful in Boston! I was hoping if I can get out of work early enough I would go home and finally go swimming. And now I can't get the swimming pool song out of my head. Those summer camp songs really stay with you for life. Uh-oh, another one just popped into my head...

Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the hot nights?
Are you ready for the moonlit skies, the fireflies, and a whole lot of foolin' around?

No more teachers, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks, no more math or history, summertime has set me free!

But then I must realize, I work for a living and summertime does not set me free! But it is still fun and I am looking forward to it!

Grandma's 80th Birthday!

Today is the day, my Grandma turns 80!!! The whole family will be celebrating this weekend in Florida.

When I called to wish Grandma a happy birthday today she said "What does it mean to be 80?" I didn't have an answer for her then. But after thinking about it for a while....

To be Gloria Handler, 80 is to be beautiful, intelligent, loving, caring, energetic, adventurous, inquisitive, supportive, knowledgeable, and an inspiration!

Grandma I love you!!!
