The fam at Settlers Rock.
350 years ago Vince and Leon's ancestors landed here and settled BI.

Dad's most recent self portrait

kind of like one of mom's favorite artist's!

First day of kindergarten

he didn't want to take off his hood or his sweatshirt, it was too early for smiles - although he was up at 5:45 (because he wanted to watch an iCarly epsisode before school)


he was more interested in this centipede than photos, but I think he was just stalling
lots of hugs for the both of us before he went into his new classroom...

ps - another early morning first day for Vince here

meanwhile....

w/ Vince at school, Leon and I have some quite time

Gramma, Vince, Leon and Mom went for a tour of the Great Salt Pond on the launch boat, Echo. We left Aunt Ria and the cousins on the dock.




Captain Bill LET VINCE PILOT! Look out, he had control of the wheel, the horn, even the gas!
