Congratulations to Dennis and Kaarina who got married last Saturday.

"First" kiss!

Here's Mrs. Slate rockin' a dress, with Russ. Yeah! Really! That's her! I know! Me too!

Steph cleans up pretty good, too.

We got over 1.75 inches of rain over the weekend which we really, really needed. We noticed a green blob by the outside tap. We thought that it looked like moss or lichen. It turned out to be a grey tree frog, which is actually more green. Maybe a birder named it. We had never seen one before.

Here, it is in an ice cream bucket, upside down, holding on with those sticky fingers and toes.

 My son, Joseph, and his family are on the move again, back to the University of Michigan. Here is the project that he will be working on. Tree of life. This is proof of good genes at work.

 

This isn't, :(
