Last week we had a family reunion. It’s the first time in (we don’t know how many) years that everyone was together — spouses, kids… It was WAY, way overdue and a wonderful weekend.

One of the fun things we did was stage a “then and now” photo.

THEN – 4 cousins – (1991, when Reedy Girl was less than 6 months old and The Graduated Johnnie was 4)

And NOW (2013)

And here on the home front, the pileated woodpeckers brought the kids over to the breakfast buffet this morning. They can’t fly very well yet. There’s 3 juvenile woodpeckers on the pine tree, and an adult on the feeder.

It’s amazing to watch all these birds leaving the nest…
