Last week Aunt Ondria came down from BC for Charlotte's Naming Ceremony. Auntie Dre stayed for an extra week to spend more time with the Nut. Here are some pictures of Dre and her niece at the cottage in the Muskokas.

Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Needham hosted the Naming Ceremony after-party. It was a very special day, close friends and family gathered to officially welcome the Nut into the world. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us.


The before-party.


"It's a party...bring your little purple hat!"


It's not a party without grandma and her Korean drum.

Great grandma Robbins.

Here are some pics from the long weekend. All of these were taken by Jacquie; I forgot my camera in Toronto and will add more early next week. The highlight of Charlotte's weekend was meeting her great grandma Robbins (and clearly not the time spent sporting her groovy new sunglasses).


Dad and baby snoozin'.


Charlotte and Auntie Messy.

Last week I spent a few days in Boston with Fil excising aortas and wandering around the city. Also, there was a little drinking. The first picture is Chicken Legs with Grandpa Robbins, taken last week while he was down on business. Every entry needs a picture of the Pea.

Mom and Charlotte are back from visiting Glenna, Stephanie, and Auntie Ondria in British Columbia. Dad, unable to wait until the weekend to visit, went up to Toronto last Thursday through Sunday. Avoiding a speeding ticket was no small feat. Here is our weekend.

No nu-nu? No problem.

Who knows what sparked this outburst?
